I brought the cheapest jeep CRD I could find in the UK (liberty Cherokee)

[@rulebritannia1553]

Thanks 🙏 Got a 2012 3.7lt limited Since 2015 Shout out from Oz

[@chaplinesque111]

Looks like a great buy mate. I have a 2005 Cherokee limited in Australia and love it.

[@joegriffin6699]

Great review and probably the only one that explains the gearbox hi, low 4wd etc. Well done. I've got a 2.7 card wj and a diesel wk, had the wj 11 yrs, very capable off road with a rear ausi lokka. Love em. Much more comfy than a Lanny.

[@DaewooFestiva23]

7:47 you're probably talking about the gas version, the diesel version (the one you have) is quite rare here as diesels arent as popular here as they are in europe.

[@simonquintrell8686]

I've just got a 2004 2.8 Limited. I love this thing!

[@CFITOMAHAWK2]

Yes it has some rust. Just sand or wire brush, then apply water to clean the rust dust off, Spray rust converter. Those cars are already 15-20 years old. I have an 07 with only 80k miles. Love it. Off roads almost as good as a Wrangler but it is better on the highway and rides better too..

[@TheFloatingFish]

Good advice 👍🏻

[@film49uk]

THEY ALSO DID A 2.5 CRD FOR UK MARKET WHICH I HAVE OWNED SINCE NEW 2005 ....I WAS GOING TO EXCHANGE 2 YEARS LATER BUT THE TAX INCREASED SO I DID NOT BOTHER I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS DONE AND THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN BRILLIANT ....

[@bradleystrasz]

I’m from wales just moved to Australia and bought the 2003 Cherokee kj limited, got the 2 inch lift kit and all terrains

[@PlumBob]

Nice truck, and in excellent shape. Good choice having the shop do the belt.Like you said one mistake and boom.I wasn't aware this is a large truck in the UK. On a quick guess, we have about 50-50 mix of full size pick-ups and auto mix. I'm sure it will change in the future. The drive down the country lane was awesome looks like you live in a story book. Thanks for the ride and the chat. Be well my friend.

[@outdoorgorilla1493]

Thanks. I wish fuel was cheaper here. That's what stops manufacturers selling anything other than economy cars here. This is one of the few American vehicle's that actually made it to market. Even so 89% of these sold here were diesel so not really the same. Although I am a big fan of diesel engines I wouldn't drive a petrol.

[@PlumBob]

@@outdoorgorilla1493 Our fuel has dropped to 50 cents/litre here. Down from about $1.40/litre

[@outdoorgorilla1493]

@@PlumBob is that north America or Canada? US Gallon is 3.8 litres so running about $5.5 per gallon (that's after the recent drops) it's been as high as $8 in by driving career which isn't that many years. Most us channels I see at fuel station seem ridiculously cheap like $2.50 per gallon.

[@PlumBob]

@@outdoorgorilla1493 It is in Canada, we are North of the States. You are right ridiculously cheap. We have imperial gallons 4.54 litres per gallon and it costs about $1.40 canadian for 1 US dollar right now. To put the value in perspective, about 35 cents US/litre.

[@freddypedraza2066]

i had one of those in texas (liberty) and i loved it!!

[@mrbagitos]

I really enjoyed this video. Great honest review. I have always liked Jeep and this version is as cheap as chips with plenty of kit.

[@hiscifi2986]

I bought the same type of 2.8 Cherokee, but with 6 speed manual gearbox. It had the faulty air blower which I fixed with the £12 resistor pack, and the adjusting mirrors had a faulty surface mounting resistor (150 ohm) which I replaced with a normal resistor. I do compare it with my old Ford Focus, which would have comfortably gone down that road at 40 mph. Most 4x4s chuck you around so much that you think you are really moving. Looks like you had a better deal than myself.

[@Peachesncream711]

I have just bought the same model myself and have the same exact issues! May I ask where you found out how to fix this yourself?

[@spanishpropertyconsultants]

In Spain that model and year would cost you 8.000 Euros more or less.... Crazy eh!

[@formerice]

Nice Jeep. I would try to delete the EGR if possible. I drive a Ram Ecodiesel, but it's tuned and deleted. Awesome mpgs! Averages around 30 US mpgs. As high as 35. I nelieve the Jeep uses a 4 cyl version of the VM Motori.

[@MasterJim2020]

Strangely enough, I like that Chrysler bong sound. (for when the car starts up) As an American myself, I think 1 of the few cars that would be fun to own in the UK would be a Dodge Challenger. That’s just my opinion.

[@rollyae82]

How did it go do you still have it? am about to buy the 2.8 diesal in Oz for towing a caravan, as I refuse to pay covid tax on a new ute ect...

[@DaewooFestiva23]

do you still have this? here in america these are plentiful. Im suprised that one hasnt rusted at all since most here have some rust.

[@Necrot1c]

How do you find out if the recalls have been actioned? Assuming in the log books? Planning to go and see one of these this week, so this review was super helpful on what to look out for. Just wasnt sure how to check if the recalls have been actioned when talking to a dealership. Right now its a decision between this, and a 2.0 Grand Vitara

[@mattlawson2578]

Use gov website, same site you'd use to tax a car. Scroll to the bottom of the page and the recall tab will be there. Pop your reg in and you'll see a list of recalls. Call your local dealer and they will tell you what's outstanding.

[@johnconnell1424]

Iv got a 2006 bout a week ago same body style but mine is a liberty 😊

[@downtheshedwithjason]

the boxy one is a GRAND cherokee i just got one of these for 2k with 86k miles

[@Technology24]

Did you say it is diesel? Im in a plan of buying one.

[@liambloxham3486]

Hey mate, just wondering. Could you tell me where you bought this from? Im looking for one as a project type car

[@DadDiaries]

I found the Events were pretty good on my old jeep ZJ. Lasted ages. Got a KJ 03 myself now

[@ru55laye]

I had a Cherokee KJ for 11 years and put a 50mm lift and BFG AT's on it. Very capable truck. Unfortunately I sold it and bought an L200.

[@sigmasd10]

The 6 speed manual gearbox (the Mercedes NSG370) is far BETTER than the 3 speed auto box with 2.8 CRD...It's like shit off a shovel away from the lights, but I can cruise at 27-28mph around town in sixth gear without even using the throttle because it has so much torque! My lowest average fuel consumption is 32 US mpg (38.4 UK mpg)...That's 12 US mpg better than the best mpg with the 3 speed auto! My normal driving average is 34 US mpg (41 UK mpg) and my best average, if I drive her like a granny, is 36 US mpg (45 UK mpg!).

[@outdoorgorilla1493]

Maybe it was different in the us but here manual box wasn't offered with full time 4x4 so couldn't use 4x4 on tarmac which was a huge disadvantage

[@sigmasd10]

I can use 4x4 on tarmac, but I am worried it would wear my tyres out so I would only do it in slippery conditions.

[@jeremytodd4906]

I've got a manual one, can't say part time 4wd has ever been an issue for me, when conditions are bad enough to need it it's slippery enough to use it.... they all have an LSD in the back axle (if it's not knackered!) I average 32 UK mpg.

[@sigmasd10]

CRD's don't have an LSD as stock Jeremy...They all have open front and rear diffs as stock...It is up to the owner if they want to fit an aftermarket locker...If I had the money, I would fit Powertrax No-Slip Traction System fully automatic lockers...Unlike a lunchbox locker they are silent and they are guaranteed to last 100,000 miles.

[@jeremytodd4906]

I thought all the UK spec ones had a Trac-loc rear diff? Mine has.

[@briang1561]

You had the parking brake on or you didn't put on your seat belt

[@bigtiger2944]

What brand and sizes are the tires?

[@Shane_Marsh]

Does this 2005 model have a dpf ?

[@dennisnorton3880]

The US gallon is less than the UK gallon so it will be actually be more to the UK gallon

[@ericraeder9995]

Why do yall have those orange side makers on the jeep in the UK. Also it looks realy clean

[@simonr23]

They’re the ‘blinkers’ for lane changing/cross road manoeuvres. Indicators is the proper term. It seems most countries that aren’t America need discrete, amber lights front, rear and (usually) on the side of the car to illuminate when the indicators are activated.

[@damianmassingham9600]

Are you sure your wheels aren’t 17 inch. Mine is the same spec but 17 inch. ? Great car 👍🏻

[@colin5064]

The guy is wrong if you look at the tyre it says 17"

[@AlsCal72]

Do you still have it? How are you getting on with it? Going to look at one tomorrow, moved to a pretty remote farm in Wales and my VW Transporter can't get up some of the horrendous hills to the house this time of year.

[@outdoorgorilla1493]

I'm also in Wales. I don't I sold it only a few weeks ago. No particular reason just was offered 3.5k which was a good price. There good but be prepared to do some work on them I don't know if I said in the video but we've had 3 including one from new. They are charicterful but not realiable in the slightest. EGR, Turbo rear axel bushings all common fails. A petrol would be better but hideous on fuel

Hi, how do you remove the spare wheel cover?

[@mattlawson2578]

Lift the registration plate, it's on a hinged flap. Use the wheel brace to undo the two bolts, or a 19mm socket will do. Wheel cover will then swing open and give you access to the wheel
