Think its about time for a service!

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

I wanna do it myself... or is it just not worth it?

Spark plugs
Air filter
engine oil
ht leads...

what else is ther to do?
cheers

You'll also want a new sump washer. about 40p

Tbh i just take my car somewhere for an oil change, less messy and I dont have to find somewhere to dispose of the old oil. Then do the rest of the service yourself.
The big advantage in doing your own change is that you can leave it there draining for an hour to make sure you've flushed all the crap out, most places you take it to will just whack it on the ramps and as soon as the flow has stopped fit the plug and filter and fill it up..

The K4M uses a coil per cylinder, no HT leads.

You'll want to change the pollen filter and perform all your checks on the brakes, lines and suspension.

[Schweppy]

It would make more sense for him to get it all done while the cars there, I agree.


James - I don't get it, you only just got the car, so does it need all of that ??? If it does why didn't you ask for it to be done before you agreed to buy it ??
