xj jeep cherokee diesel

[brk]

Anyone out there know where I can get reasonably priced engine parts for the 2.5 vm diesel that jeep use in their cherokee?

[wopass]

what sort of engine parts mate ? and where do you reside ?... probably another southerner...... ..lol

Yeh,Ive got a head gasket to do & may need a head not sure yet,someone said all head bolts should be replaced anybody know anything about this? Southern Auckland

check the length of the studs mate, if they havent stretched then they will be fine, find a new measurement for them and use a good vernier.

head gasket set, i would go to an engine reconditioner or partmaster, i personaly deal with appco here in hamilton , as i get good discount from them and good service to boot, post model number and engine code and ill give them a call tomorrow, see what sort of money they are selling for.... better yet, sell it and buy a cruiser ..

as for the head, no idea, if you in for a new head... farkenhellgoburnitandclaiminsurance......

Was the VM 2.5 diesel the first diesel in the range rover ? In the clasic and mk 2 before the 6 cyl bmw engine .

Yes the VM was the first Diesel engine'd RR. First in 2.4 then in 2.5 litre then moved to the 200Tdi 2.5 litre Land Rover engine.

thats exactly what ive done bought a landcruiser , i actually sold this jeep and it blew the gasket within a week so being the good bastsrd I am i said id fix it.Is a horrible beast of an engine with parts like rocking horse shi**. Anyway its in bits at the mo and am waiting for some of the parts from Italy.

hi there . I own (&drive) a 98 Cherokee Turbo Diesel which I purchased as a project with cracked heads( I say Heads coss the VM motor has sectional heads) and leaky power steering (amongst other things....).
After my 89 2.5 diesel Pajero , the Jeep is a wonderful machine. I've done a lifetimes penance getting the sodding Heads off , repaired and back on along with the Gold plated head gasket etc but I now love the thing and haven't yet given up although I still have 1 or 2 little niggles with it. I guess you've long since got rid of yours but Let me know if Ican help.
Cheers..
