I've got my 100,000 mile service coming up

banter general discussions etc

I've got my 100,000 mile service coming up by jontera on Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:53 pm
As above, for a 2.0 sport running petrol

right I'm getting all the bits together for it.
got filters (oil,fuel and air)
stocked up on fluids (brake/clutch, oils (diff and engine), molyslip)
front discs (they have a decent "lip" on them)

need to buy a few more bits

new timing belt with tensioner
plugs
New washers for drain/filling points
grease gun and grease
Pads for the fronts and the back (might as well do the back while I'm at it)

but while i've been doing the usual inspections, I noticed that the nearside lower ball joint gater (rubber bit) has started to split and leak a little grease so they will get done to. found this on Fleabay for both lowers, and I think that both should be done at the same time. but they seem a little cheap compared to milners etc

am I seeing some thing wrong? what does the collective mind of FOG think?

(I know i've put this in the wrong place, but I wanted as many people to see it and give it a thought)

also have I forgotten any thing else for the 100,000 mile service for a 2.0 petrol sport?
(thermostat was done a couple of months back, so it should be okay)
