Hi, my car is creeping closer to the 90,000 miles mark so I'm going to start getting ready for the service and buying some bits for it. In people's opinions, what should I service/change/inspect during this opportunity? Let Mr know what I should do and what fluids or parts you would recommend using.
I look forward to a reply.

90k is a fairly big one isn't it?

Engine Oil
Engine Oil Filter
Engine Coolant
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Diff Oil, Front and Rear.

That's taking it as the 30k service from the manual (which only covers up to 60k).

Also possibly Cambelt, aux belt, all fluids changed wouldn't hurt mate

SirFozzalot

Cam belt is normally every 50k but it's up to you.

If its only had the one cam belt change I would be doing it a 90k
maybe cambelt aside all the rest are diy jobs.

Mine has just hit 90k and had the following done,

Cambelt
Water pump
Aux belts
Oil change
Coolant change

Then I also had the garage give it a good check over underneath for things like worn bushes.

I tend to service the oil every 3-5k anyway and did a diff and gearbox fluid change around 75k.

Would personally get the belts all changed, oil and coolant and then see how much money you have left

SirFozzalot

Be prepared for some potential grief getting the rear diff plug out. Mine was ok but I've heard some folk have had real hassle getting them out.

Luckily, the cambelt was done about 10000 miles a go and I recently put a green panel filter in so that's a couple of the jobs done. Thanks for the feed back.
Any preferred products to use?

I would ring Alyn at as performance on here, he'll put you a package together and deliver it in one or 2 days at a great price, I use Millers oils, genuine black subaru filter etc but its personal preference really (appart from the oil filter)

I've used as performance a few times now and will certainly use again. I may have to give him a call

No ****! I planned to do the gearbox and diff on mine a couple of weeks ago. I got the gearbox done .

The fill plug came undone on the diff easily, but I couldn't for the life of me get the drain plug undone, I need to get the car higher in the air to get a better swing at it!
