Post purchase service

Hi there, I'm picking my "new" 20 years old X300 4.0 Sovereign tomorrow and have already booked an indy service to include:
- all fluids and filters including gearbox and diff oil - new plugs - OBD diagnosis just in case I'm on a budget but is there anything else I should be checking as well? Your expert advice will be highly appreciated. I include a view to the engine bay, sorry is upside down for no good reason! |
Congratulations on the pickup. Engine bay looks clean. Let's see some more pictures of that beauty!
I did everything you mentioned as well as replaced the wheel bearings. I replaced them because I wanted to start fresh. If they are still good I would just have them repacked with new grease. I also changed the thermostat, but that is mainly because I had to replace the radiator and decided to change the thermostat also. Enjoy your new ride. |
The thermostat is a good idea. They have a record of sticking open after a few years.

Gone to check Fritz (the cat) with an specialised indie (he even has one himself) and the veredict is:
You've got a good one mate!!! Here it goes the service list though, - change ALL fluid and fiters. Check ac gas too - replace thermostat and chech waterpump hoses connections - change trapezoidal bands - solder tiny crack on exhaust downpipes - radiator bushes - clean servodirection pump and put missing boot back - grease usual points and wheel bearings - new cam gasket - check differential leak, put new gasket - plugs if needed Hope this list could be of some help to newbies like me. Let me know if you feel I'm missing something |
Check/replace condenser bushes as long as you are doing the radiator. Lowers are likely missing anyway. Flush heater core while you are doing the thermostat.
