Hi,
I picked up my first Grand Cherokee the other day.
When I got there it was running and I took it from there to a petrol station, stuck some diesel in and drove 30 miles home no problem.
However after leaving the car standing for half an hour or so I couldn't get it started again? It fired up a couple of times but kept cutting out again after a couple of seconds.
All it does now is turns over and over but wont start.
Any ideas orhelp would be appreciated and also any recommendations as to where is best or recommended in England to take it would be great.
Thanks,
Paul

 

how cold is it there? maybe use some anti-gel.

also, i had good results using ether or quick start on my old diesel.

maybe the fuel injectors are gummed up?

 

Its not so cold, around a couple of degrees celcius,

It might also be worth mention I have one of those nonsense immobilisers which is operated by the clutch and I thought that may cause a fuel cut if it malfunctioned?
Can I safely have the jeep towed to a garage or will it damage it??
Cheers, paul

 

you can tow it by flatbed or wrecker and dollies. but all 4 wheels has to be off the ground. don't let them take it any other way.

 

I believe it's OK to tow if placed in neutral, according to manufacturer's specs.
