I bought a tow-car! 2003 Grand Cherokee CRD
Discussion
The lights turned out to be a blown fuse, traced (eventually! ) to some dodgy wiring on my crappy tip trailer. Simple enough, at least!
In the latest adventures of the big gold bus, we've done another ~500 miles towing the racecar up to Croft and back. This passed mostly without hiccup, and the Jeep proved yet again to be a comfortable old tank as we managed 5 hours each way without stopping. Annoyingly, a mild grumbling from somewhere around the front end has now got a bit louder
. It's in for an MOT in a couple of weeks (gulp) so I'll ask the Man what he thinks (my money is on the front propshaft).
Current sitrep: MOT in 2 weeks, it needs two front tyres fairly soon, the rear control arm bushes need doing, it's probably overdue a change of all the gearbox/diff/transfer box oils, it's still big and gold, and it's making a funny noise. I still feel oddly attached to it even though it's often a pain in the arse. Perhaps I should have bought a Shogun? Or stumped up for a Landcruiser? Who knows
