ThreeComanches Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Hi all! I'm curious to see how many of ya'll have a factory turbo diesel Comanche. It still seems like nobody knows how many of these were sold or still exist. It would be nice to know if anyone else on here has one of these unicorns. Running or not, let's see em! I currently own two in Alabama. First is a running 1986 XLS. Second is a non running 1987 Base model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 Look at the Registry List and filter the engine column for turbo. https://comancheclub.com/topic/62656-vin-registry-list-november-2024-update/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob I think this is the first I’ve seen you post since I’ve been on the forum. And I’ve been here something like 5 1/2 years. Glad to hear you’ve still got it.

devotee Posted Wednesday at 05:23 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:23 PM Mine doesn,t count. But given how few there are, I'll speak up anyway. 1986 XJ w/2.1 TD (J8S-814). 4WD w/5 speed manual. I have a tough time finding out where to look for BTDT info on maintenance and repair. Recently found some interesting J8S things here: http://www.renault25.com/data/forum/search.php?keywords=J8S&fid[0]=69 Just tell the browser to translate.
