Service 93 RT/10
Discussion
Want to service my car( Read as Baz has kindly offered his expertise). 10,000 miles on the clock, no idea of service history, so looking for a baseline type of service. I have the service manual which helps, but what do you folks suggest I should change? Plugs? Plug leads? What fluids? Clutch? Brake? Even Diff( oh no based on previous post!)
Best place to buy? Local dealer who can order in?
I have answered a previous post re buying Mobil 1 oil and remain very much in the market to buy some, any around? If not any thoughts on what alternative oil to use?
Any advice welcome
Thanks
oooh we missed this one. sorry
For a 93 with unknown history and 10,000 miles I’d probably go with the lot as you have no idea how long its all been in there and it all could have timed out on age rather then mileage.
I tend to work to something like this which is probably over kill but cheap insurance
12 months
engine oil + filter
Chassis lube including weather stripping and locks etc
other general checks
24 months
definitely do as time sensitive
as above plus
Coolant
brake fluid
clutch fluid
clean air filter
do also for insurance
trans fluid
diff fluid
Ps fluid
plugs @ £1 each you cant not do them
probably do plug wires every 48 months,
other things to keep an eye on and replace 2-4 years are
fan belt
Radiator hoses (now have silicone ones so no more changing those)
If you don’t know how long its been in there the fuel filter would probably be worth doing also
PCV valve. When i went to change mine the one in there was in better shape than the POS I brought so stuck with it

)Thanks Dave,
It's booked in with the Southern Viper tech. Just getting the parts together now.
Trouble is everytime I see Baz, I get influenced to start modifying it. I keep telling myself to keep it standard but time spent with Baz starts the old grey matter off down the new exhaust system route. Maybe I would even be influenced to go yellow?
