Ha ha yeah it's something to watch - some parts are very different for the UK - power steering lines etc. Most part come from Germany over here so have to be certain they will fit my right hand drive engine ...

Yes! I thought it might be as i didn't recognise it and couldn't locate it in my Haynes engine diagram. I wonder if it's serviceable ... ? It doesn't look in good shape - looks like it's been leaking with all the white deposits on it

Looks like a propane regulator to me. Where is the steam coming out of it?

Not sure - might well just be the hoses are corroded - need a cleanup and new collars. I've never seen one before to be honest. I had a feeling it was something to do with the LPG tho

Will the replacement gas tank be very inexpensive?
Because if not - I would just repair the original. And you already know that it fits well. <g>
Clean all the rust off, take it down to clean metal, and overcoat it with a brush-able epoxy and embed some kind of fabric. Glassfiber cloth is a bit of a bother to get just right but an old tee shirt or whatever similar bit of kit you can round up and . . . . Bob's Your Uncle.
You'll find yourself quite chuffed in the end. <g>

Hi guys the petrol tank on my 95 4.0 XJ is really badly rusted, as is the lpg tank behind it and the tow bar. So 2 questions really: 1. Do Jeeps tend to rust more underneath at the rear? Bearing in mind I'm in the rainy UK and my jeep was parked up on a rural forecourt for 3 years - might have just been partially under a tree or something ...
And 2: I'm planning on buying a second hand fuel tank, painting it and adding some sort of protective layer. The only ones I see are for 97-01. Is it the same fuel tank? I.e. will a 97-01 fit my 95?
Cheers

Even that can be repaired easily.

Help jeep Cherokee won't start
Hello everyone, my 1999 jeep Cherokee sport won't start! All it does when I turn the key all the way is make a "click" and then everything shuts off and won't turn back on unless I disconnect the terminals from the battery then reconnect them. I have already tested the battery and it was fine, I have taken the starter off and tested it. It was also fine. I then also checked all the fuses and relays and they are all good! Someone please help. I dont know want else to check.
