It got to dealer who after some pressure at least plugged in Laptop to
diagnose Engine Management light ..... Transmission failure.

Result is I need a new gearbox and new transaxle ........ wow !

I'd find a new dealer. One who actually understands how a car works.

I've said before about my nearest main Jeep dealer, who has to borrow
the diagnostic tester from Jeep UK as they haven't got one, thought they
had thrown out a lot of the little used Jeep equipment when they moved
premises so hadn't the kit to free off the tracking and said "Is it a
4x4? We can't do tracking if it's a 4x4".
Having found a good "Main Jeep Service Agent" who identified and did
some foc recalls and the tracking, I got a letter from them saying they
had sold the Citroen franchise (their main business) to another garage
and were closing.
Jeep UK were friendly when I rang them, but only able to offer sympathy.

I'm still stuck with this Jeep, as I haven't found a cheap enough Disco,
Shogun or whatever, and I'm sure the chuffing from the back inaccessible
injector has returned.

On the other discussion here about mpg, this is a fixation of mine. I
don't believe the mantra that petrol is better for low mileage's.
Petrol auto Omega 40 mpg motorway, 7-9mpg taking elderly ladies shopping
as always "full choke".
Diesel auto Disco or Grand Cherokee 26mpg motorway 22mpg shopping.
Diesel Manual Octavia 70mpg motorway 35mpg shopping

All values approx but measured over several fill-ups. Everything depends
on the style and requirements of driving.
