Hello and welcome,
I don't know whereabouts in the UK you are but I recently did an oil service on my 2007 CRD and got the parts from http://www.eurocarparts.com
Put your reg in and it will show what is available.
Have you tried http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/car/parts_disc.asp?part=disc&make=JEEP&model=Patriot&year=2.0+TD+%282007-%29 for EBC brake parts, I used to have EBC on my Nissan X-Trail.

 

Hello guys! Thanks for your quick advices, I will take a look and see what I can find.
I will be keeping this thread up to date with everything

@GoguAdi I can't send you a private message, so maybe you need to accept my friend request.

Thank you

 

Hello again.

@goguadi - It seems that I have no way to contact you privately and to let you have my email address on this website. So maybe you can let me have yours if you can send me a private message and I will reply. Thank you


Can anyone recommend any brake discs and pads other than EBC ? I am not looking for the best ( most expensive ), but not the poorest quality either.

Should I go for Mopar engine oil and gearbox oil, or is there something better on the market ?
Thanks guys !

 

get generic cabin/air filters - originals not worth the extra cost

do get very good quality oils - engine oil is vw spec 507.00 and the correct other fluids

brakes - get a brand name, they are fine

shop around for the starter motor - the jeep one is expensive, but a generic one will be fine - why do you need one?

 

Thanks Harold. Would Mobil 1 engine oil 5w30 be alright ? ( they say that it is vw 507 - but they don't say anything about being longlife ). There's also Castrol SLX Longlife III ( which has this vw 507 specification).

I have just been at a local Jeep dealer and strangely they said that they don't even know how much oil the car takes, as Chrysler fusioned with Fiat and there's an entire mess.
Thanks

 

Welcome!

 

I just found Qantum longlife 3 5w 30 engine oil so I will go for it immediately I will have your approval as people who know better . Bare with me as I'm learning! !!

About brake discs&pads what about Pagid&Delphi&Ferodo&Mintex&EBC? Which would be the first 3 winners?

Thanks

 

use whatever you can 5w30 - must be 507.00 tho

has it had it's cam belt replaced? - it'll be due about now !

why new starter motor?

 

mileage?

 

our s/motor went at the 3 yr mark, took out the flywheel and clutch !!!

warranty took care of most $$

not a serviceable item - most last longer than the vehicle - i'm told !

 

85000 miles on the clock.
When i bought it (1 month ago) they said it had it's s/motor, alternator, water pump, cambelt, replaced at 81000 miles.
But the s/motor now is sticking, and the engine doesn't start easy and smooth at all.
The warranty is not transferable in law, so the dealer can't get anything from the previous owner.
But they will send another s/motor or money to replace it.
