Ha ha ha. I thought the same thing!

I wish. I think it’s their revenge for me putting more than a thousand miles on the last rental.

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.

Really starting to sound like you should have chucked a couple of $K at the Scooby Do?

I don't expect they haven't filled the autobox with fluid or anything like that?

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.

Keep at them.

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.
