what to do next
Posted: 21 Aug 2007
well since I have owned the car it has now had
new oil ,filter , plugs , air filter, cam cover gasket ,accumulator sphere ,and front pads .
I am trying to source a heater tap before I fit my replacement heater panel and I also have a new fuel filter to fit
shes driving just fine and I know Jay did the cambelt before I bought it ,the car had 93,500 miles on it then so am guessing cam belt was done around 90,000 ( I understand these should be done every 30/36,000 miles,)
so my question is , do I just drive and enjoy it for the next 6,000 miles or should I be looking to replace or at least check anything in the mean time ? (apart from tyre pressures , oil and water )
also do I have to drain the fuel tank to change the filter or is there a way of blocking the fuel line while I do it ?
are ther any improvements/upgrades I should consider making to the car
like different brake pads , bigger throttle bodies ( how much would they cost and are they worth it )
finally can the oil pump be changed with the engine in the car , it seems fine (pressure between 4 and 6 when running )but if its an easy swap I would rather do it sooner than later .
sorry to ask so many questions but I want to keep the car for as long as possible and would rather spend a bit of money now than loads later due to something I could have prevented
