The engines are bullet proof if you look after them!

Its booked in at Redhill on Tuesday.

I have a list of additional stuff over and above the service items. Will let you know if they find anything significant.

I have recently asked them to either to a Honda 12, plus any other bits that need doing according to the 9,000 schedule in the FAQ, as it can work out cheaper.

Additional items are as follows:
  • Air filter
  • Valve clearances
  • Spark Plugs
  • Drive belts adjustment
  • Coolant replacement
  • Transmission fluid
  • Differential fluid

Having said that, the last service I had done was the equivalent of the 54k service (162k miles) and it worked out less expensive to go with that as a discount was available on that and not on the Honda 12.
Your car has done 162k miles on the original engine?!
Caboose/Graham is on 200K miles on his original engine

All good.
I did get them to change diff fluid and do the valve clearances, more for peace of mind than anything else.

Other than that 2 new front RE050MZs. The originals were split in the tread - they had been on there a long time. but I did get them to price match the online tyre providers.

Just two other advisories.
- front bushes showing signs of wear
- slight corrosion on rear exhaust box.



all good for the jaunt down to Spain and back next month..

Good news indeed. Not long to wait now...

I'm in a bit of a quandary - only have 4 to 5 mm on the rears, is it going to be enough? !
