Delays with getting Wrangler oil pump
Read more
You live in Victoria, so go the company's head offices in Port Melbourne in person and ask to speak to a customer assistance person. Phoning, e-mailing etc., just gives them a chance to avoid the issue, a face-to-face encounter is a different thing. There is no excuse for not being able to supply an oil pump, or tell you when they could supply one. Perhaps they haven't heard of aeroplanes and airfreight. Another suggestion now that the car is out of warranty and FCA clearly don't care about it, take it to an independent mechanic and get on the Internet and import the pump from the US yourself.

Jeep Wrangler LPG conversion
Read more
The problem with the Wrangler is not a performance one, but a packaging one. Where to mount the LPG tank is the one that needs solving, and to date there has been no demand from the Wrangler owners to develop a package for the car. Help is at hand, however, as we contacted the people at Impco and they would be happy to take a look at your car to see if it's feasible to come up with a package. Contact Rob Mercer on 03 8788 1000 if you're interested.
