....just look @ any rally event pics for the year and you'll see my "maintenance"..... Laughing

Fellas I suggest we begin another topic re 4X4 maintenance and leave this once for engine maintenance.

wagon r · Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2006 7:55 am Post subject:

that could be done but then you'll be between two threads for one topic, which really is diesel maintenance, whether it be engine or otherwise.

i agree to leave the comparisons out, but once it entails some sort of maint. issue, it should remain here.

i should be getitng my vehicle early next week. what do you guys suggest be the first checkup point? milages wise the firm is giving me the first check up for free at 1000km i find it's a bit early but then it may catch any problems sooner as it's practically a new vehicle and may still have some problems.

wagon r · Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2006 10:09 am Post subject:

...1,000km is cheating you but then again, it's f/u vehicle so yuh hadda take it.

as with any new ride, park it up for a day amd look over everything.....and i mean everything. take note of all figures as you got it and condition of the entire van and then go drive the hell out of it after..... Razz

....but seriously, that first service will fly like nothing.....but keep us informed and let us know when we could get a test drive.... Mr. Green
