I'm afraid i've gone to the darker side by damrabbit on Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:31 pm
Not THE dark side mind

Well it all came about with my 2.2 eml light coming on with an egr code cleaned egr,replaced pipes still the same so asked on here for any mechanic/garage recomendations and nothing came of that asked around had a couple of suggestions but all the quotes was "well it could be anything and could cost anywhere from £350-£1400" :shock: :shock:

So before it cost me such i traded it in and have now got a .......Jeep cherokee see i told you it wasn't THe dark side of the green oval but close

Its a 2.5 turbo diesel so i'll be doing a bit of lurking in the vm section and 1st impressions are good it goes hell of a lot quicker than the 2.2 i'd even say it was quicker than my 2.8 but maybe its a lighter car

Please don't hold this slip up against me i still have my 2.8 :oops:

I've had a 4 litre Cherokee in the past.
Performance wise they have tons of grunt and on the whole i enjoyed owning one.
The down side, as already stated, is the chassis.
