"Diesel filter water detector cap."

Do you mean the water separator that holds the fuel filter ??

I've heard of a couple of reports of failure / 'melting' on these
Fuel filter on mine is due for a change so maybe get new unit that comes with Fuel filter attached

Mines a 2007 build but registered 2009 (stood on Chrysler's parking lot for 2 years before selling off cheap)

Turbo hoses still seem OK on mine still quite soft.
Will check out those power steering hoses you mentioned.
Replaced ball joints with factory mopar when I got the U-joints replaced. at around 120,000 KMs Still seemed OK after all those miles, but worth doing while it was all pulled apart.
Hotter climate conditions in Australia to UK so I guess quicker deterioration of rubber hoses etc.

Good list of stuff to watch out for as the miles increase on mine .. thanks

If there is anything you left out of your 'comprehensive' list post it up
