.

In your area, and from past posting....rust, mainly on the front radius rod fixation (front chassis rail) and under the battery. Check the service history, if the transfer case work properly (light and all)....

Happy io

Give that one a miss.


The last thing you want is a GDI engine with fuelling issues.

Sorry, late reply. I just came back from holidays.

I am not a GDI expert and I cannot help you here. But, Fordem can....if he advised you to stay away....it might be because it can be expensive to fix.

How many kms have your io ?

This said I understand that you looked for a while and may have found what is perfect for you and I hope that it will only cost you a new bulb !

Happy io

thanks claude

Not sure what to do to be honest i drove the jeep for a while and everything seems in good order.The green gdi light is the only light that doesnt come on when i turn the ignition before starting thats why i thought it might be the bulb.
The jeeps are pretty cheap over here under 1000euro so its not a major risk i have a samurai at the moment and its just to small
