Hey,
my car is just approaching the 150k mark and I was wondering if there should be a service done like the 100k and 200k service. Or should I just book it in for a standard service?
cheers

pretty much standard replace following

-oil
-oil filter
-air filter
-spark plugs
-coolant
-g/box fluid and filter if tip
-fuel filter
-plug leads
-brake fluid

except for oil only replace everything else if you havent done so recently

How come I need to replace things like spark plugs and plug leads though?

as they are most likely due

they dont last forever platinum/iridium plugs 80-100000kms normal plugs 20k and leads dont last forever either

so even if you have platinum and were changed @80km do the math they will be due

Fair enough. So if I replace it all myself how much am I looking at (excl oil filter and oil)

-air filter $30+ (depends on brand/style)
-spark plugs $20 ea for iridium x6
-coolant $10-20
-g/box fluid and filter if tip $25 filter and fluid prob around $30
-fuel filter $20
-plug leads depends on which ones you want use up to $120
-brake fluid $10-15 dollars


hope that helps

Great, I'll buy these this weekend, thanks for your help

hey, I'd be looking at doing the same kind of things,
are there guides for doing all these things anywhere?

there are a few in DIY section but if you need any help just flick me PM and will be happy to help

You may also want to consider an inlet manifold gasket if your changing your plugs/leads.

Can someone please post the exact parts I might need? I don't want to walk into Autobarn / Supercheap and go can I please have plug leads without knowing what size / specification etc.

(yes I am an amateur at mechanics now I know what it feels like when people ask me for computer advice lol)
