Diesel Navaras and PJ/PK Rangers are killing injectors too. At $1000 per injector it ends up being an expensive repair! We've traded in quite a few with dead injectors. If you're looking to buy a second hand one, make sure you start it cold as they quite often don't play up when hot.

Not good. Seems a lot of cars have issues now, even the Toyotas. One thing I am noticing is the differences in servicing costs.

Landcruiser is 210 I think capped where cars like the jeep are 400odd. What are the other costs on the euro diesel 4wd?

I had a Q5 3.0 TDI which fortunately I bought under the corporate plan (free servicing) but they still gave me the invoices for my records, it was $900 for a standard service (ouch!). A lot of the modern diesels (no, that doesn't count Toyotas...) are using fully synthetic oils now. That where a big part of the cost on a Grand Cherokee Diesel service is, in the oil.

just a though about insurance and authorities should there be an acco. if you didn't have the correct towing capacity on the towing vehicle, and I don't mean what the towbar is rated at, you might have a problem. im not 100% how insurance companies would view this

I paid just under $500 for a 60k service on my Jeep Grand wk2 (current shape, but doesn't have LED head lights). Oils and filters cost the most.

I can't complain about it's reliability. This is my second WK2(I do heaps of k's) and both have been very reliable and awesome fuel efficient tow car.

I sell Jeeps and we have had a few minor issues with the current version Grand Cherokee (fiddly little electrical dramas) but overall they are seriously a brilliant car. I can honestly say that the build quality of the new gerneration Grand Cherokee is brilliant. At this stage it's the only Jeep I would buy but in the next 2 years all Jeeps will revert to the new way of building cars and will be world class. There's a bit of junk in there at the moment which is a hangover from the "old Jeep"...

Value for money, quality, driveability and towability you honestly cannot go wrong with the Grand Cherokee. Tows like a truck (3500kgs) yet drives like a car.

Completely unbiased rant over.....

I used to have the WG/J V8 and was in the 'old Jeep' category. Reckon (believe it or not) the Fiat ownership improved build quality immensely. The new one is a million times better.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
