Can't really help you with where to find a mechanic in PJ but for
reference the pads in my 4.0L cost RM175.

Thanks a lot mate. Had it inspected by a mechanic but found nothing
wrong with the pads. However, my brake will squeak slightly but
noticeably whenever I press the pedal, any clue what would have gone
wrong?

Hi,

It could just be the dust as they accumulated. If the pad is okay nothing
to worry. I'm sure a litle squeak will not bother you. Let me know if
you found a good and reliable mechanic in PJ. Smile

You need to put some high temperature copper based grease on the back of
the pads, it's the contact to the pot that is making the noise.

Hi,

His workshop now is in Wangsa Maju somewhere (I have not been able to
locate the place - maybe have not try hard enuf). Anyway, his hp is 012
377 5079 (he is very helpful). BTW, where is this Najib guy? Maybe I can
send my Jeep to him as I'm in PJ now. Servicing is due now (overdue
actually). I was told that we can use Volvo oil filter as replacement.
Is this advisable? Someone can comment on this?

Since Jeep owners are getting smaller now, lets keep in touch and continue
using the Jeep. Under the right maintenance I believe Jeep can last.

Thanks for the info. Najib is in Jalan Ipoh, should be nearer than
wangsa maju. Najib's contact details are as follows:-

Jip Auto Services
No.67 Blok E2
Jalan 1/18A
Taman Mastiara
Batu 5 Off Jalan Ipoh

Tel:- 019-273 9916

From LDP, go to Jalan Kepong, then take 12 o'clock turn at the roundabout
to enter Jalan Ipoh. turn left on the first traffic light (tire shop at
the left corner) and go straight and you will reach Taman Mastiara at the
end of this road.

Najib is helpful too and he does not might you bring along your own parts
for service/repair.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Do you know about the Volvo oil filter? I was told
that we can use that as a replacement for the Jeep oil filter. Have you
try that? Where do you get your replacement parts? Last time I got them
from Auto Asli, Jalan Kelang Lama. Try to source from US but was told
that that our Jeep are Europe spec. (that was when I need to replace the
ECU).

Regards,

No idea about volvo oil filter, I use original Mopar parts supplied by
Najib. How much does volvo oil filter cost? Najib charge Mopar oil
filter for RM40 and air filter RM48, still bearable.

Najib will be able to provide part no. for part sourcing. That helps as
the part no. is common across all regions. Am also trying to source
parts from overseas, particular from China as it is cheap there. Have a
cousin to help me in this and will inform you of any progress.
