FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey all

Just need some help,
My FTO has done about 155k kms and I never got around to servicing it at 150 (like I should have), all it got was an oil filter change, that's about it.

However I noticed today that it doesn't seem to have as much power as it should and that its a bit more resistant to going into gear.

So I want to give it a good proper service,
So I have two options
a) I was wondering if anyone here can help me give this car a good service? (as my mechanical knowledge is limited at best)
or
b) knows a good, trustworthy mechanic (with experience with FTOs or at least performance cars) that is in Western Sydney.??

PS. What things should it get done at 150k?
Thanks

is it a tip???

gearbox oil and filter will likely need a change.
should help.

ben or az could recommend a good mechanic round your way

That is Ben's side of town
As for mechanic work shops well Ben never really needs one

I'd do:
* Engine Oil
* Box Oil
* Plugs
* Fuel Filter
* Air filter (replace if stock item, service if aftermarket oil based pod)

General check over other things like brake pads, brake fluid, oil seals etc.

Normally I say 2 cases of beer to do it, but because I've so many god damn beer jobs lately, my fridge is over flowing with beer
I'll do it for $100 bucks and you pay for parts.

What days are good for you? We can tee something up?
Parts shouldn't be hard to get, they are all things that auto stores normally have in stock hey?
