Question 1

What does a starter motor do?

Accepted Answer

The starter motor is the component responsible for turning over or ‘cranking’ the engine to start the car. Without a functioning starter motor, it’s not possible to start a car by using the ignition alone. The starter motor is a key component of a smooth running vehicle. 
When you press the ignition to start the vehicle a charge is taken from the battery and used to start the engine.

Question 2

How often should you replace your starter motor?

Accepted Answer

Your starter motor is working every time to use the ignition to start the vehicle. This can be even more depending on if you have start-stop technology in your car and the configuration of that system.  This is because coolant constantly cycles through to prevent overheating, which means you need to be careful with the signs of a malfunctioning radiator as it is an essential part of your cooling system. This being said, a damaged or leaking car radiator should be replaced immediately.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Inspect the starter motor and the parts around it for any potential issues.

Question 4

What are the symptoms of a malfunctioning starter motor?

Accepted Answer

Usually, there a few signs you can look for: 
If the 'Check Engine' warning light is on.
When trying to start the car you hear a ‘clicking noise’. 
When trying to start the car you hear a grinding or whirring noise this may signify issues with your starter motor.
When trying to start the car you hear a buzzing noise, which indicates not enough electricity is getting to the starter motor.

Whether you need a car for an out-and-out adventure or a luxury family vehicle, Jeep has something for just about anyone.There were 83k Jeep vehicles on the UK roads by the end of 2018, a number that could show signs of growth with the marque’s plans to introduce more small and large SUVs and fully electric models to the range.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Be part of the Jeep family at Camp Jeep

Accepted Answer

For Jeep owners across Europe, and in some of the most stunning and challenging locations available, Camp Jeep gives their drivers an event of their own to celebrate the bond between the brand and its fans. With a packed programme of off-road test-driving, and theory and practical courses held by the Jeep Academy, the camp is backed up with additional social activities including hot air balloon flights, concerts and family fun and games to provide the perfect atmosphere.You don’t get that kind of inclusion from any of the typical mainstream brands.

Question 9

Jeep’s reliability and reputation

Accepted Answer

Jeep ranked 29th place out of 30 car brands in the What Car? Reliability Survey in 2018. With a fairly low score of 82.7% (but not as low as Land Rover’s 76.5%), it’s somewhat of a surprise for a car that is designed to go anywhere and handle whatever you can throw at it.
