    I replaced mine not long ago. Checked both ebay and amazon for them but they were all quite expensive. So i went to the "stealers" to check their price and i got a better price from them if you include the postage and packing and i could bring them home the same day. However, they sold me the "dorman" version so its was also som kind of aftermarket product but workes fine. I just disconnected the battery and poured hot water on a pice of paper and sqeesed it in between the lower part of the glass and the lower edge on the mirror casing. Left it for 30 minutes and then i heated the mirror around the edges of the glass using a "hot air" blower. I guess my wifes hair dryer had done the job aswell. Then i got as many fingers as i could on the top of the glass between the glass and the casing and just bent out the glass. Be careful, some versions have cables connected to the backside of the glass so make sure to put them back where they where placed.

    Got the rust off but the emergency brake is still not doing its job. Greased the sliding pins, got all rust of the mechanism, checked the wires, replaced the pads but its still bad. Do anyone know if the wire can be adjusted manually or is it supposed to "self adjust" by depressing it?

    Got the radiator hose off and drained the system. Added water 3 times, ran the car for about 10 minutes every time with drain/refill. Hopefully i got it all out and added some fresh coolant mixed with destilled water. Thanks for your help wih this.

    Just to let you know i had the same problem. In my case it was the 62TE gearbox running low on ATF+4. Did a flush and replaced the filter and detached the battery for a cuple of hours. Much better now and gets better and better every day.

    Wheel bearings are quite common but easy to install a new one. Also check the drive shafts plastic (dont know what its called) seals. If you have a cracked one the drive shaft will let you know, especially when you turn.

    Perhaps the previous owns has, dont know...or....perhaps some useless mechanic broke it without telling. Everything looks the same except that the red plug is missing............. If that is the case then its all gone except for the tiny bit that is left.

    Thanks, checked the calipers and the emergency brake wire fitting was all jammed up with rust. All fixed now and i just ordered a new set of pads. Thank you so much for your help.

    Thanks, i checked the rear brake calipers last night, put some grease on the sliding pins and checked the brake cylinders. They all seemed to work fine and the brakes are effective but still, no service brake..... I will check the wire that runs from the lever today (got to dark last night). Perhaps the mechanism just rusty and needs some cleaning and grease.

    Thank you for all the tips. Mine looks like the female on the first servicepicture. Like a pipe in solid steel that comes out from the radiator. But inside there is a plastic cap with just one tiny little hole in the center of it? Perhaps there is a "key" for that as well, just a different one since i dont think the "key" illustrated on the picture will fit. I will try to take a picture of it this weekend.

    Yes, i have found the tap but how did you get it to open? There is nothing to grab? Its just a metal hole and in that hole there is a small plastic round thing with a tiny little hole in the middle. My guess is that it requires some special tool or perhaps mine is broken somehow. But when checking it it dosent seem broken. Btw, i have the 2008 diesel model with the CRD engine. Are yours similar?

    Hello Sorry, i guess i mean the service brake. The caliper in it self seems to work from a distance since the break discs are clean and not rusty. The wire seems to run smooth so it must be something in the caliper that is stuck. I guess i will have a check.... Thanks

    Another common point of failiure is using the gasket on the tray. Often combined with uneven edges on the tray or bad torque resulting in a leakage during pressure and heat. Combine this with a lack of level checking you have a gearbox running on low levels for a long time. If you also add in the wrong ATF and/or heavy loads you have a distaster comming. The "stealers" in Sweden dont use the gasket anymore. They use Silicon sealant for the tray. With the correct maintenance this 62TE is a relative good gearbox. But if you dont maintain it properly its quite sensetive for missuse. Make sure to check the levels as often as you can and keep maintenance at 60000 miles the gearbox will probably run for longer than the car:-) If you are unsure how to maintain it properly, leave it to the stealers. Not a local mechanic using the wrong ATF. In that case purchase the ATF+4 from mopar at the stealers and give it to the mechanic. Not everything runs on the cheapest ATF.

    Hello Yes, sorry, you are correct with the milage interval. Missed a zero:-)

    Hi Dont know so much about injectors on diesels but the fuel filter is located in the rear under the car. You will see it for sure if you have a look.
