Instead of using the money I have scraped together on the lovely shiney parts I've been drooling over on the evolve website for the last few months, Ive spent it all on boring *** maintenance. It does mean I won't get my pretty new headers and shiny intake system till probably this time next year but hopefully this work will stand me in good stead when that time comes.
The big blue money dyson is booked into Mr Vanos in Darlington for the following work at the end of the month:
· Vanos gear Spring Plates (replace with uprates post facelift spec)
· Timing chain tensioners
· VANOS recon (inspect, clean, replace all seals/gaskets)
· Thermostat
· Any gaskets/belts/dodgey looking items binned and replaced/uprated as required
· Fluid service (everything including power steering, brakes… the lot) and any associated filters
· Fuel filter
· Injector removal and refurb
· Inspect and repair fuel lines if required
I think I've covered all the major trouble areas but can anyone see anything I've missed? Brakes and suspension will be done over next winter in a similar fashion, replacing wear parts and uprating a few choice items. Then she will be ready for a bit of extra go!
Should be in tip top shape for the RR day!
