Hello all I have been reading the comments on this site for a while, on and off. So I learnt some of the problems of the Jackaroo from here. I bought a Jackaroo 3 months ago and as part of the deal had a drive by wire cruise control fitted because we drive about 700km every school holidays.
It went like a rocket and accelerated in fifth gear and held its speed in fifth gear going up hills until recently. The cruise control did not have any pick up and going up hills it would loose speed but not that much. It missed its 60 000km service so I got the 70 000km service combined with a 60 000 km service (the people who did the service put in 20 - 50 oil). It now goes like a dog in the mornings and runs hotter. In the afternoon after driving it for a bit it accelerates OK but not in fifth if its below 3000 rpm and it takes a while to get up to speed in fourth gear, basically there is no power and it can't accelerate up hills anymore. I have had it checked by the local holden dealer and they hooked up the computer and found nothing wrong. Recently it would not start in the afternoon until it was left to sit for 20minutes. Has anybody had this problem?
