last M201 retired from service 2000.

I have done a lot of work for the jeep dealer up to 4 years ago. The vehicles are no more unreliable than any other European built models[most jeeps are from Austria]. The American built models are just as bad in ameican-exported models will be better. look at privately imported jeeps like the RHD postal service jeeps they rebuild when they get here.

Air conditioning systems are made by very good branded companies valeo-denso-sanden etc-my guess is they are european spec jobs made to operate in Tasmania or hodge podge of cheapest tender.

electrically these normally get to 4-5 years before they start to terminate. Most or my European mates asking why I would be repairing a 7 year old car unless I was living in north Africa or Russia. We all know frustrated engineers and parts suppliers need to work out how to get the cars to return to the dealers and buy new models without risking safety-use poor wiring and over complicated body computors.
