Hi Mark,
Many thanks for the reply. The registration document definately shows 2003 and 2.8L - to clarify - I'm based in the UK and I've got a feeling that the 2.8 CRD was introduced over here a couple of years before the US?
I picked up the same info - 'fuel and air metering', but I'm a complete novice with car mechanics, so it didn't make much sense to me.
The P0076 code refers to "Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low Bank 1" - but I'm guessing that this is it a generic fault which could apply to any one of a number of components within the fuel / air system rather than being a for a specific componment??
Thanks again for your advice.

That P0076 code I do not think is valid for your CRD.
Most of these problems are air-in-fuel related....make sure your fuel filter is good and you have primed all the air out of the fuel head.
Camshaft sensor could also be a problem.
How did you get those codes?...you can get the codes using the "key" trick on your 2003 KJ.
Turn the ignition key ON/OFF rapidly 4 times without starting the engine....leave the ignition ON after the third On action.
The odometer will display the codes...oldest first and newest one last.....it takes a few attempts to get this to work.
Be aware that this method sometimes transposes the last two digits so a P0076 code may display as P0067.
Have you read the NOOB guide?...most of what is there is valid for our Export models except that our models have a fixed-vane turbo and different EGR action and have an earlier type of Racor filter head than the type of Racors our USA friends like to install.
Download the manuals for your Jeep here...first down load the 2.5_2.8 Export Diesel Supplement......covers our 2.5/2.8 Export CRDS as far as the engine is concerned. Then you can download the 2003 KJ Service manual...covers everything else such as bodywork, transmission etc. and the circuit diagrams.
