2003 1.4 16V Clio
Hi guys,
Just bagged myself a tidy little 2003 1.4 16V Dynamique Billabong with 60k for £500. Needed a little runaround instead of my TT as I've just bought a house that needs a LOT of work. So thought I'd join the forums and get your opinion on servicing.
I've done my research, and plan on doing a mega-service to cover all bases, as the service history on the car doesn't really tell me that much. I plan to change the following:
Oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, spark plugs, coolant, brake fluid, cam belt and aux belt.
Can anyone recommend anything else that should probably be changed? I was thinking maybe the gearbox oil. And can anyone link me to a decent cambelt and aux belt kit for my engine, as everywhere I've looked they seem to stock different options. I don't know which one I need, and I don't want to go buying the wrong one!
Oil - Halfords recommend Mobil1 New Life 0w40, people on some forums recommend 5W40, some recommend 10w40, and the service book says 5W30/5W40/10W40/15W40. No idea!
Any help would be much appreciated, cheers!
