Hi

(Sorry for the repost, hit the wrong button last time!)

I have just purchased my girlfriend a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 Limited
and looking for a 'cost effective' company to perform a 60,000 mile service.
I am based in Hertfordshire and willing to travel a reasonable distance if
the saving is to my benefit.

Also does anyone know if the cambelt is changed on a 60K service or is this
extra?

Thanks in advance.

You should get the FSM (Field Service Manual). It isn't cheep, but it will
cover all the maintenance and repair procedures for the Jeep.

Most of that "60,000 mile service" is dedicated to generating revenue for
the dealers mechanics.

While I'm not familiar with the 4.7, for the most part service amounts
to changing the fluids, air filter, and relieving the customers wallet
of all that excess weight.

It's a chain and will probably outlast the vehicle.

I got a quote 700 quid :( from the main dealer. Idealy I'd like to find a
independent Jeep specialist for half the price.

No it's a belt and is showing signs of wear. So if it's not included that
will probably be an extra few shillings :(
