Any idea about the best place to service a FTO in Queensland? And how much am I looking at spending? It's close to 10K since the last service..

Thanks Simon.

Is basic service enough for 10K service? What does it include and any idea about the parts I need to buy?

It all depends on how kms the car has done. for example a 30,000km service is pretty basic but 100,000km is a major service.

let me know how many kms and i can tell you what you will need to get

Thats gonna need a major.. timing belts, tensioners, water pump, plugs, fuel-oil-air filters plus fluids & labour.

Start saving, think $1000 to $1500.

119,000 - 7300 = 112,500. So unless my maths is out it, shouldntl that have been done at 100,000km. Stop scaring the poor boy :lol:


Do you know the service history of the vehicle??

As said above the 100,000km service is a major service and one definitly not to miss.

Mate you need to 100,000km service which is a big nd expensive service

That means timing belt, tensioners and idler pulleys water pump, oil, oil filter, plugs, any seals if they need replacing etc etc.

The only place i trust with my car APC in underwood, cant recommend them higher enough. Not sure if they do just servicing though
