If you've only got a short distance to go then towing (an automatic) shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep it reasonably slow.

there is no were on front of jeep to put tow rope, is there a way of getting at the crank to see if it turns thanks

[legendgamesmaster]

should be two tow eyes on the chassis at the front. Put it in neutral on BOTH gear selectors. make sure there is oil in the transmission. Dont know about the manual turn over.

AND ITS NOT A JEEP!!!!!!!! A Jeep is a JEEP. this is a SURF, a far superior beast!

You need to remove the bashplate from under the engine to get at the crank bolt, if you remove the glowplugs you'll be able to turn the engine easier (if it's not seized that is)
