Here's an example fault on the JEEP Grand Cherokee (1994 - 2005)
What to look for:
Take the car for a test drive on a main road to ensure it has as much power as you would expect (based on other test drives). When you come to an incline, can the car continue at its current speed, or does it struggle and begin to lose power?
What it means:
If the car loses power like this, check the temperature gauge. It will usually be climbing towards the red. This is a sign that the head gasket needs replacing.
What to do
Ensure the car is repaired. Head gasket repairs cost £1,500.
