Title: Service Items..
Post by: aaronjb on 01 October 2010, 22:48:39

So I was just trying to make a mental (ok, written, my memory isn't what it used to be!) check list of common 'service items' - not necessarily Omega specific, but for any car..

So far what I've got is what's on the usual manufacturers service schedules, so;

Oil
Oil filter
Air filter
Pollen/cabin filter
Spark plugs
Brake pads/shoes/disks
Brake fluid
Coolant
Gearbox oil/ATF
Diff oil
Power steering fluid
Clutch fluid (if hydraulic)
Accessories belt
Fuel filter


Ok ok, so I cribbed some of those from the guide here ( http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152655085/0 ).. anything I've forgotten?

The aim of this is so I can keep a little table of when I change things .. because like I say, I have a terrible memory! (I'm sure the oil change interval on the MR2 swings between 6000 miles and 2000 miles because I can never remember when I did it last without digging through receipts..)

Check interior and dash lights
Remove dings and dents
Touch up chips
Polish out scratches.
Valet it
Get it all just so...
... then either some tinker will drive into it or the head gasket will blow. Bloody cars!
