Can someone confirm that the base my oil filter adapter (the part that the bold head rests against) should be welded/fixed to the bolt head and not rotate around the bolt. Watched about 3 Qts on oil shoot onto my garage floor after replacing the seals. I think I broke the base away from the...

I'm looking for a replacement/alternative for the "Tee" fitting in my heater hose arrangement. The only source that I have found is Team Cherokee here. 50+ bucks (shipping included) just seems a bit outrageous for this fitting. Does anyone have another source for this item or an alternative...

Just finished replacing the radiator and t-stat (both leaking) in my 88 XJ and, as luck would have it, I still have a leak from the t-stat housing. I've decided to replace the housing in case the current housing is warped. The auto parts stores have the housing available in two different...

Looking for options to replace both the mounting points for my track bar as both the holes for the side frame mounting bracket and the axle mount have wallowed out to where I cannot get a tight connection with a stock track bar. What options (besides a pick and pull yard) are there to replace...

I have a 4 inch patch of scaled rust that developed underneath the body molding of my '88 2-door XJ. It has rusted through to the inside in the worst places. I used a wire brush and some Emory paper to remove the scaled rust and treated the rusted area with some rust converter as a temporary...

OK. For the years that I have owned my XJ, it has done everything I've asked of it, except perform well in winter conditions. This was true when I lived in Eastern Oregon, as well as my current stint in Colorado. I see lots of other XJs that don't seem to have any trouble handling the adverse...

I searched and did not come up with an answer. I have a black 88 XJ with the lower portion of the door panels, flairs, and plastic trim finished in a silver/grey color (popular option on the mid 80 to mid 90 XJs). I need to touch up a couple of spots underneath the plastic trim, but have not...

The shifter for my manual transmission is evidently worn as the stiffness of a new boot will push/pull the shifter out of 1st and 3rd gear. My question; is this indicative of something in the transmission that is worn or will replacing the shifter correct the problem? I cannot find an exploded...

88XJ, BA10/5 tranny, 252K miles. Got home from a mountain bike ride and noticed a fast drip underneath my XJ that appeared to be coming from the gap between the bell housing and engine block. I poked my finger in the spilled liquid; it was cool to the touch, slick, and didn't have a strong...

My muffler has rusted through around the outlet to the tailpipe. Inspecting the the tailpipe, it too can use replacement as the welded hanger is about to scab loose and the outlet has been eaten away over the years. I'm thinking about replacing the cat and getting everything done in one shot...

My 88, 250K, BA 5/10 XJ just decided it was not going to start this afternoon. It will not turn over at all. I had run around town earlier in the morning with it starting up just fine. The only hint (and it may be totally unrelated) that it was not happy was that the engine stalled on my...

Believe it or not, after 247K miles, I'm having some problems with my BA 5/10 tranny. ;) Not with the syncros, but rather with the shift linkage. The tranny is running just fine, but the linkage has become so worn that my new shift boot will pull it out of 1st and 3rd gear. The tranny remains...

I'm talking about the small inner most boot that fits directly over the tunnel on the tranny housing. The AX15 boot are widely available through Quadratec and others. Nothing advertised specifically for the Peugeot, but a few vendor "vehicle fit" guides indicate that it might. Any experience...

Can anyone shed some light on which model years the e-brake handle is compatible with my 88 XJ? The threaded rod snapped under my vehicle and I'm looking for a replacement handle. Nothing local, so was looking for an assembly online from a recycler. I could get a tap & die set, but pulling...

How did the demise of the tranny manifest itself? Did it seize up or let you know the ghost was leaving in some other manner? I have 237K on the original Peugeot. No real issues with the tranny, except that it has started kicking out of reverse gear as I'm backing up on cold morning starts...

For those of you that have replaced the seal in your disco actuated axle, how did you do it? What tool do you use or improvise to get the job done? Can you provide specifics? I've got the old seal out and am trying to seat the new seal. I tried to improvise a tool using PVC cap ends and a...

Just a quick question to eliminate my confusion. Is there one or axle two seals that need to be replaced on the passenger side of the axle (vacuum hosing and/or diff)? After searching, it appears that the right side seal of the vacuum housing may be the only seal on that side. If so, does oil...

Anyone got any tricks to help loosen and remove the hard brake line fittings at the master cylinder and flexible hose that runs to the brake caliper? I need to replace the master cylinder and hoses, but am starting to round the nuts with no movement. I've be using PB Blaster. Do any of the...

While replacing my drum brakes yesterday, I managed to snap the threaded rod that connects the Parking Brake lever to the cable equalizer. I'm guessing that the rod was part of the actual handle/lever assembly. Does anyone know of a source (other than a yard) where I might be able to get a...

Can someone clear the air as to antifreeze? I just changed the water pump in my 88 XJ and need to add the coolant. A search has brought up many threads indicating to stick with the original green stuff. My question is, how do I know what is the original green stuff? How can I tell? EVERY...
