    Re: My joy and sorrow

    I also got a couple of keys made for the car. My local locksmith cloned the original key. $200 for both. That’s under half price of what my local Jeep dealer wanted for one key [emoji849]

    Now the XJ runs pretty good. Still a small leak in the #1 injector, but that will be sorted soon. A new one will set me back close to $600. I think I will try to fix it myself first, and I that goes...

    My joy and sorrow

    Everything is now back in the car. I am delighted that it runs like a charm. No more "knocking" sound when in 4H/4L. The t-case is also a lot more quiet. Very happy with the result.

    When I bought the car it only came with one key. Today I checked the price for an extra key. That will set me back almost $ 300 [emoji37] Blody ridiculous price.
