servicing due.. what next?
 
Hi all, im james
im new to this forum and new to owning a 53 reg impreza 2l wrx turbo wagon.
its done 85k and has no history of servicing since the oil and cambelt was done at 60k so iv done the oil and filter in the engine. next im probably going to do fuel and air filters then rear diff oil and spark plugs.
hopefully im right in thinking that would then be all the easy cheap stuff done. According to the manual by 100k i will need to look at servicing/ changing..
discs pads fluid, hill start mech, wheel baring lube, clutch, steering and suspension.

My question really is, does this sound ok? what else should i be looking at doing.
Are there common problems i should be looking into before i do anything else...
Well any help or advice is greatly received.

Cheers, Jim:confused:

I'd replace the coolant/anti freeze and the gear box oil too.

Thanks for the reply. Been offline for a little while, in that time iv changed the fluids, air filter, petrol filter and cleaned the breaks up (until I upgrade from stock breaks) the tyres are next on the list as iv spotted more nails in them than I have in the shed. Probably go for a mitchelin or perrelli as was happy with them on my accord.
Next big job however is to look at the suspension, by going through the threads I see most people go for upgrading, is this a wise choice and worthwhile area to spend a bit of money?
Regards, jim
