That is brilliantly disgusting, it takes effort to make something that bad.
Ha ha ha. I thought the same thing!

Haven't they got any trade in motors they could let you run about in rather than that thing?
I wish. I think it’s their revenge for me putting more than a thousand miles on the last rental.

I'm gutted your JEEP isn't up to expectations
Thank you. I can’t say how upset I was when it broke down again and the sales guy trotted over to see how I felt about the car…

Whats the spec of the JEEP? Fiat are inconsistent in bringing them into the UK these days.
It’s a JEEP Wrangler, unlimited (means 4 door), manual ($2.5k cheaper), Altitude pack (hard top, heated seats heated steering wheel), tow pack (high amp, multiple battery and accessory switch set built in).
Came back today with noe dash lights on, a new transfer case module and still reluctant between 2-3rd.

Doubtful as it's a Spanish gearbox if I've read the thread right.

Bugger missed that, is the clutch not clearing or the synchro iffy between 2 and 3? Still might not have any oil in the box though

I think it’s the synchro.
I picked it up again yesterday and it’s still not right.
I’m going to drive it for a few days and if it doesn’t get better, take it back again.
They have 30 cumulative business days in the warranty period and then I can return it (which I don’t really want to do) or another two times to try to fix it (again to return it).
It’s a great toy and would be loopy with smiles if it was all working. Perhaps it will just make me enjoy it more when it is going as it should.

Thanks
I need to get back at them as I don’t think the transfer case is working like it should.
Need to speak to another Jeep owner to check for sure.
