Title: 43k service
Post by: matsu on August 19, 2010, 03:03:50 pm

i,m just gonna book in for the 43 k service.
what am i recommended to get done? i know a dumbo question.... :booty: :sad1:

i,m looking to change the dv just as a precaution- going to dealers.50 squid i believe but not sure on price to change-anyone got an idea of labour cost on that?

i,m also gonna add eichbach arbs - been quoted 90 squid for 2 hours work
inner bush arms £125 labour.

i was going to take a chance on the raceland coilies after reading sooo many people on the usa forum having alot of success with them but i have put that on hold.

i was thinking about upgrading the brakes lines pads and fluid instead/using the coily cash. anyone got recommendations?
thanks muchly

today is help a numpty day so answers appreciated lol

Do remember if you change your ARBs then you will also need a 4 wheel alignment...   :smiley:
