End of season maintenance

[dsl2]

Have not added it up yet, but would say my car has done about 35 hrs since new, bearing in mind that she has not been driven hard / off roaded to any degree & or crashed what would be the sensible parts to replace ready for a hassle free season next year?

I was thinking both driveshafts with c/v assembly's /rebuild brake calipers & replace pads, would you normally replace the red suspension bushes & rod ends as a matter of course or just on condition? Does the diff need any sort of maintenance other than grease as it seems to be working a treat still?

Discount anything engine wise, as that side of things is yet to be sorted out...

With the amount of abuse you have given the poor thing i'd buy a new one

the pr6 is not hard on bush's rod end's etc.
just on a wear basis would i change them. Mine is going into its fourth year and the bush's etc are still good.Considering i had two full seasons racing here in ireland on a very bumpy track. A good spanner check all over, check uprights and disc's for hairline cracks, your brakes should be fine as i dont think you ever used them this year.Drive shafts if there is any wear on them, replace them, and you should change your engine to an 1200cc and give me a break!!!

hi darren

i would follow colins advice. I would buy a complete bush and bolt kit and replace everything wearable on the suspension i did mine and it made a big difference.

other stuff will come to light when you take the suspension off

check the diff very carefully

check the drive shafts cups and bearings if there is any significant slop think about replacing the tripod bearings and the cups.
