Hi All,
I have decided to give servicing the car myself a go.
What ht leads do people recommend?
Car is stock, auto, what plugs do people suggest?
What part number for fuel filter and oil filter?
My local supplier does not have a clue.
Is it difficult job to do? Any tips or how to on site? Did try a search
Give Clive at shyauto a ring for the that\'s. He\'ll also chuck in some advice I reckon.
Cheers man, Im based in Ireland so annoying a guy who owns a business in the UK i wouldnt think would go down well. Does he post parts?
plugs 7 all round will do
Halfords do oil fillter and oil
Fuel Filter get from one of the tuners
HT Leads should be ok unless your getting ignition breakup
Yeah, Clive is very accomodating. He does post parts.
As Ash says, although I would either go 7s leading and 9\'s trailing, or 9\'s all round.
Guys, he\'s asking what parts he needs. Saying "yeah mate, 7\' all round" i bet he\'s thinking WTF? What they mean mate is there are 2 different types of spark plugs in this car. They both look the same but have different part numbes numbers. You will need
2 BUR7EQP
2 BUR9EQP
That is the proper part numbers for the plugs.
Yep...
Thanks amillion for the part numbers.
When should all the belts be done on the car?
Dif and Trans oil etc.
I have just bouight the car and really want to looki after it as its my daily driver
From what I\'ve heard, the fuel filter is a b*tch to replace without taking the diff off.
should be easy to do the plug, leads, fluids and oil filter though...
Get yerself an oil drain plug (has a tap on it), then you won\'t even need to mess about with new rubber washers on the drain plug.
I use Castrol 10w40 mineral oil from halfords, and a halfords oil filter, but can\'t remember the part... do a search its on here somewhere.
There\'s more to a service than changing these bits though...
I hear a jar of vaseline and a ladies toy works quite well... alternatively, there are apparently companies who should be able to service you, for a small fee... :D
*cough*
its been a long day :Typing
