NGK PFR6E-10 spark plugs

5w 40 fully synthetic oil

oil filter

petrol filter is in tank on the 172 cup, do not need to change

ITG filter.. clean in warm soapy water, leave to completely dry then re-oil

pollen filter

coolent change, use Renault Type D coolent


Would be worth changing the gear oil, use 74w 80 GL5 synthetic gear oil (The RS boxes are very particular on their oil)

Renault for the coolant, or GSF... its not expensive, around £20 for 4L or 5L iirc

o.k cheers will be geting that then...nice one

would ther be any think else that i need to change at all. mite as well do it all at once.

Not really... Perhaps clean the throttle body if it's oiled up?

Check usual the usual items... Brakes, suspension, steering etc.

use petrol to clean it, much easier

if you have a cup without AC you will not have a pollen filter

As for oil get some carlube 5l if on a budget and bosch filter
still as decent as the rest an £20 from eurocarparts

oh also wd40 up all hinges e.g doors bonnet catch boot catch.people never mention it but always worth doing

as is checking all bulbs
