better find out now rather than when you really need them. especially brakes. I have tried to skim jeep disks in the past to save a few notes and TBH it's a nightmare, so it's just easier to replace from lighthouse

i can get discs with pads for about £78 from partco so if you have a local place try them before you go to the stealership. easy job to do mate. 8-)

All done now......£450 lighter of pocket. New pads, new discs, new rear bushes etc etc. Ho hum.....But got my Jeep back  :-D  :-D

Gonna plan in doing my service soon..........when i've got some sheckles together that is!

Going to do oil and filter, transmission fluid, diff fluids, transfer box fluid, plugs, air / fuel filter, plus all other checks and lubrications.

The gear oil is about £15 a gallon from any motor factor.
The dexron is about the same.
The ATF+4 is dealer and a bit pricey, It's a special synthetic ATF, You'll need 4 bottles.
The friction modifier is about a fuver from the dealer.
