Sprackles Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Looking to buy one of these, W reg, 2000. Generally good condition. Few rust spots and signs of wear but then it is 12 years old. Main area of concern is the management light wont go off. Seller tells me garage cant find problem as their equipment says the light isnt on. Obviously I am unwilling to accept this at face value and would be looking for a price reduction to reflect this. Have driven it and its nice. Full leather, air con etc etc... Wants £1750 but thinking more £1500....any quick advice, he has others looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockermax Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Would think twice if the management light wont go out as I believe it is now an MOT failure to have any warning light showing. Unless you can fix it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprackles Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Just spoken to a mate in the trade. He said the engines are bombproof and if it keeps running ok have the light disabled as they pick up silly little items that wont affect the performance as well as the more serious ones. If it was serious, the engine woulod not be running very well at all which is not the case. Checked out the warning light failures you mentioned and got the following list up, engine management does not appear as yet, * The new testable components subject to the 'bedding in' period are:headlamp levelling and cleaning devices when fitted for HID or LED headlamps main beam 'tell-tale' battery - including batteries for electric or hybrid vehicles electrical wiring connectors trailer electrical socket security and damage operation of 13-pin trailer electrical sockets operation of the steering lock (where fitted) electronic power steering malfunction warning indicating a fault electronic parking brake control and malfunction indicator lamp electronic stability control components including switch and malfunction warning brake fluid warning lamp illuminated or inoperative tyre pressure monitoring systems secondary restraint system component including airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, seat belt load limiters, and SRS malfunction warning lamp engine mountings speedometer indirect vision devices - where they replace obligatory mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I too would be a little concerned, the trouble is that it could be absolutely anything, major or minor. I'm not sure what they're worth, but in good condition if it goes down to 1500 it would probably be a reasonable buy, but it's a gamble.

Mate in the know said at £1500 its a good price and even a couple of hundred quid fix would make it a fair deal. Just going to ring the owner now, see what he says.

ferguson_tom Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) I paid £1700 for a Y reg with 69000 miles FSH. good condition but needed some minor jobs like new exhaust anti roll bar bushes etc. Mine doesn't have leather though. I wouldnt be too worried about engine management light there is hardly any electronics on thing. Great truck though you wont be disappointed Edited June 7, 2012 by ferguson_tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 the light is on, on mine too and has been for the last 5 years , again nothing comes up on the diagnostics and it runs sweet as a nut. Great trucks will not be dissapointed. If or when the engine management light comes into the test just remove the bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprackles Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Getting it for £1600 if I want it. Lowest he will go. 6 cd change, air con, heated leather seats, plus a few other bits. Think I'm going to chance it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I had an 'S' 98 for 6 years, only needed a new battery and half exhaust in the time I had it. Part Ex'd it for Grand Cherokee as it had 110K on the clock - God I wished I kept it. Jeep was a pig and spent more time in the garage than on the road. The Toranno was a brilliant work horse, even pulled a stuck tractor and boat off the beach without any bother.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyblanco Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Throttle pedal sensor is a known fault with symptoms of running rough when cold between 1500 and 2500 rpm, mine had a dodgy air mass sensor and I have changed a crank sensor on one before. £1600 seems slightly steep unless it it is a low mileage minter, you get a lot for your money with a terrano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it, I love mine and it goes pretty much everywhere on our shoots and has cost very little apart from when the clutch exploded :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
