Remember to check the front drainage in the bulkhead plenum chamber for leaves, as this caught me out a few years ago  and her indoors does not like paddling

I'm not a big fan of engine flushes. I'd rather do the oil and filter change then change it again in a thousand miles if your worried. Sometime a little bit of muck keeps things nice and quiet.

Cambelt and tensioner if due. and do breathers with oil change.

Don't - often does more harm than good....

A few regular oil changes at short intervals is a better approach

Hi Terry pmsl

[plym ian]

if do the cam belt for piece of mind cause you never know

As stated from other members....i never ever use engine flush...my personal opinion if it is that bad is to change oil and filter run for a couple of hundred miles and then change again   ..cheap enough to do considering .......that way some crap is best left in place...
