Good Jeep/4x4 mechanic in Dorset or Hampshire area?

[308mate]

My new (to me!) Grand Cherokee needs a bit of sprucing in some areas (thats how I tell the Missus it needs a transfer case overhaul) and I want to take it to someone knowledgeable.

Any ideas round my way?

Failing that, a Jeep guru anywhere in the country? Of course I could Google it, but Im looking for people's actual experience of such.

Many thanks

When I had my old XJ Cherokee, I bought used spares from an eBay dealer by the name of Dorset Jeep.

They did a great, cheap, efficient mail order service.

They seem to specialise in old Cherokees, but might be worth a try.

Type "Dorset Jeep" into Google.

Newbury 4x4 are good too ... they have done work on mine and are very good too.

I know one in Wilts (near Bath), but that's probably too far for you? Let me know if not.

Look up London Jeep (Enfield way) and speak to Errol 0208 304 8198?

I was there last week and they have several breakers (WG/WJ) on site.

Can you fill me in on this?

I'll drive a bit to get some good service.

I will call London Jeep today and see what's what.

Edited because I just spoke to a guy there called Sam and he was bloody helpful. Car booked in for Friday.



So far I've had the best result at a local auto trans specialist. Now I'm just trying to source parts. Viscous coupler on the np249 quadratrac transfer case is seized.

If your going to London Jeep take yer walking boots cos its in dump of an area but I think the guys know the cars.

They also had a crossfire in when I was last there.

Getting a lift to the nearest tube when I drop it off, which is a good result. Straight into work then.

Let us know how you get on?
