I'm looking for a good manual Jeep Wrangler 2.5l YJ in the south or east midlands of the UK. Ideally it won't have been off-road much, will have a good soft roof and won't be modified. I'm happy to consider a LHD personal import from Europe or USA.
I am offering a swap for my 2002 Daihatsu YRV premium - red, 1300cc VVT engine with less than 35k miles, A/C, ABS, glass panel roof, service history in excellent condition - this car usually gives around 45mpg. (Different to the Jeep, eh?) It is worth around £3500.
If you are interested in looking, I can send pictures, etc. Please email me

I have had a number of Jeeps. LHD is always a good idea as you can get them insured on an American car policy. I had a Cherokee comprehensive for about 200 quid a year, a CJ7, that was only 80!
Now have had a couple of 'UK' Grand Cherokees and they cost 400 comprehensive.....
If you go LHD it will probably be the 4.0l engine. Dont bother with the 2.5. They are not much better on fuel and are no where near as good.
When you get one spent the time and money on gettting the oil changed in the front and rear diffs. If it is a selatrac use the correct Jeep aditive. Lighthouse Jeep, Norfolk are great for parts and info. The Jeep use a Dana axle and the outer wheel bearings use the half shaft as the inner race. If the oil isnt changed regularly then the wheel bearing damage the half shaft. Although it can all be fixed, its MUCH cheaper to change the oil!!
Great cars, join jeepclub.co.uk as they are a really good source of info on all things Jeep from days out to funny noises coming from your rear!!!
Happy Motoring and alway beware of Jeep Imitations!
