First job for her is the front bearings and front discs and pads in the next week or 2.

Will be giving her a full service and a good clean up plus a lot more :lol:
There is a noise coming from the engine that im not to sure about so will upload the video to youtube and post it at the bottom any advise will be great

Not much to say here, i want leather seats a start button and blue lights instead of the red.

I would start with the basics oil level and oil and filter change 5w30 iirc :thumbs:

maybe an engine flush as well

 

[Ginger Tom]

I would only do the engine flush if you see that the oil is metallic when you drain it

 

[troyster]

Yeah think ill do that this weekend, got to say it was stood for 6 months and never started in that time either but did drive quite well after been stood so long.
Will do the service and let you know any change :grin:

And engine flush if oil is metallic
Thanks

 

[quest63]

I did mine son after I got it and although I didnt have any particular problems the oil was fooked, the worse I have ever seen, like well knackered frying oil. I didnt have any visable metal but I think I could have had a lot of fine metal in there wearing the engine away without even being able to see it.

I wish I had got a magnetic plug as well but will next time

 

[troyster]

Think ill flush it anyway and get a new magnetic plug too

 

[quest63]

The few magnetic plugs I have seen that have a load of metal stuck to them, the metal has been more like dust than chunks, or grains albeit dust glued together with oil

Yeah just been looking at some, so its a good thing then lol
