Parts needed to service my 1.2

[HarriBanjo]

Hi all,

I've done a quick search but I'm not 100% sure...
What bits do I need to do to service my little Ph1 1.2?

Air + Pollen + Oil Filters
Engine Oil (Going to use 5w40 Fully Synthetic)
Spark Plugs
Gearbox Oil (Not desperately needed as it's only a minor service, but I might do this anyway as it hasn't been changed in a long while)
Bleed Brakes
Wipers/bulbs if needed


Thanks for reading - anything I've forgotten??

Seems right!

I'd be interested to know what else to 'inspect' during a self service.

Anything you can see really for a visual inspection. Worth checking these:

Shocks
Springs
Brakes
Driveshafts
Steering components - wishbones, tie rods etc.
Exhaust

I would buy a sump nut and washer as well just incase. But you seem to have everything covered

Right, I've just had a word with my brother and he's told me to look at prices for these parts (Not 100% sure on this list but I'm about to make a couple of calls to get prices):

(+ Renault Prices
1. oil filter £8.35
2. oil sump plug gasket £1.50
3. oil (10w40) £28.00 + VAT
4. coolant -
5. brake fluid £6.00
6. gearbox oil (Renault said don't bother as it won't be needed, ever)
7. spark plugs £30.68

(Note: I don't need a new air filter as I'm going to fit my induction kit)

Just wanted to add: Do I need a new fuel filter too?

 

[Plummer]

Out of interest how many miles are you on?

 

[Dan7]

Gearbox oil may not be low but it would be nice to put some clean stuff in.

£8.35 for a oil filter, urm go to a motor factors it will be about £4ish,

Or have you got the type that has a removable filter inside?

I'm on 39K miles (car is Y reg, early 2001)
Low mileage is because it's my gran's old car and she hardly ever drove it

I'm planning on changing the gearbox oil but the bloke on the phone at Renault just said that the gearbox oil will probably out-live the rest of the car and that they wouldn't change it in a service...
Anyway, what oil should I use for the gearbox + does anyone know how much?
(I've got the Haynes manual at my parents place, so if no one knows I'll be able to find out at the weekend when I come to service it.)

James.F: I've got no idea what type of oil filter I've got :rasp:

these are good for service parts, just give them your reg number and they send the right parts.
