Default Newbie saying Hi!

Hello all!
Ive just joined the forum so I thought that I should introduce myself; my names Mark and I live in Winchester, Hampshire in England.
I used to own a Cherokee Stealth 4.0 afew years ago and Im hoping to buy another XJ soon; I just love these cars!
I currently drive a Jaguar XJ6 but I miss 4 wheel drive
Looking forward to talking about Jeep stuff and getting to know you guys,
Cheers!

Well; Ive got her! just got back home after picking up my new Jeep; I'll post some photos later!
She's in pretty good condition really; just afew little paint scrapes need attention and for some reason the heater doesnt blow out hot air; only cold.
Any ideas guys? do I need to flush the cooling system?

Thanks Blue; Im really pleased with it so far! going to give it a full service as its long overdue and try to work out why the heater doesnt blow out hot air and I suspect that the viscous fan coupling might need replacing as she runs abit hot

gave her a real good flushing out and replaced the t-stat but she still runs very hot; should I replace the fan clutch next?
