General Comments:

You can expect some pains from such an old car, but not this many.

When it works I'd say it runs better than some other recent cars, which are mostly with cheaper build.

No pain - no gain.

I would probably still buy a more recent one. You feel safe in them.

Faults:

Back differential bust, replaced with a more recent Cherokee back axle which is also a little bigger.

Fan clutch went, replaced with an electric fan which has also unladen some weight off the engine.

Power steering resorvoir cracked, leaving me without oil.

Minor vacuum leaks, solved easily.

Headliner is dropping, will replace it soon "do it yourself".

Air con leaks a little condensation inside, this happens to new jeeps to and doesn't really bother me.

The minor oil spot on the floor, which any car this age would do.

General Comments:

I really like this car, not too bothered about it's little faults which any old car would have. it drives smoothly, isn't too expensive, quite comfortable and gives you that feeling of driving something serious, safe and strong. very good for its age.
