hi newbee from the uk ,,,,,, only had my jk unlimted a short time its a 2007 make ,,,, all ready had a new power steering pump , now its wants a new turbo its only done 12000 miles its a 2, 8 diesel ,,,,,, have you had any such problams over there,,,,,,,,, take care dave ,,, across the pond in the uk

 

we don't have the diesel here so we can't say anything on the motor. The biggest problem I've seen is the freedom top leaking.

 

empty wallets come to mind.

 

No diesels here Dave. I think most acessories are made by subcontractors and supplied to Jeep at assembly. Diesel fuel here is very close to $5.00 a gallon, what does gasoline cost a gallon over there? Is the Pound still set at $1.50/pound? Nice speaking to you....

 

Not sure what it is currently, but last summer it was around 1 pound per litre, which comes out to about $8 a gallon, don't even want to know what is now, thank goodness I'm not going there this summer.

 

I've got a 2.8 CRD over here in Australia too. I believe it's a VW engine?


Not good to hear the turbo blew up, might just be a once off?


Diesel here is currently mid $1.70's... sucks... was #1.30 start of the year

 

hi diesel in the uk is now 131 per litre ,,,,,,thanks also for your replys regarding my turbo problems ,,,, ive got one in to dealership on 19th june it has to come from the U S A ,,,,,,just one they just said diesel could reach 150 litre and petrol 125 in the summer ,,,,,,,,dave across the pond

 

1 litre=0.26 gallon
so x about 4= 1 gallon

1.31poundsx4=5.31 pounds

1 pound= aproximately 1.55 dollars so...

5.31pounds per gallon x 1.55 us dollars=

about 8.23 dollars for about 1 gallon of diesel

@1.50 pounds per litre,

1.50*4=6 pounds per gallon

6 pounds * 1.55 dollars=9.3 dollars for 1 gallon of diesel

We better drill like crazy and build more refineries fast!!! Well I guess we could just trust in the goodwill of known terrorist nations to supply us with our oil, that works right?

 

Man you should really think about getting rid of the deisel and trading me for a proper gas engine, JK JOE>
