That looks like a real beauty Nathan well done - now you need to go through it from top to bottom, to find out what didn't get done before

The reason for saying go through it thoroughly is that I have found service history is only half the story. If you want a reliable and efficient DII you will need to adopt the preventative maintenance approach.

Hi Nathan, I always start at the front and work my way back, so:
1. Cooling system - empty coolant, flush rad, and engine, replace any pipes that don't inspire confidence, replace the thermostat, refill with pink OAT coolant.
2. Braking - replace front discs and pads unless very new looking, replace brake fluid.
3. Engine - de-EGR, De-Cat, clean AAP/MAP, engine oil and both oil filters, airfilter, replace the injector harness, clean and monitor ECU red plug, check/replace front camshaft oil seal, check fuel cooler seals and replace as necessary, check FPR seals and replace as necessary.
4. Steering - replace fluid, check/replace pipes (they wear through near the engine sump lip, check/replace track rod/tie rod ball joints,
5. Front diff - oil change, check breather,
6. Gearboxes - change fluids and filters (where applicable)
7. Front prop - remove, examine, grease if poss, renovate if necessary
8. ACE - check/replace pipes, replace valve block filter
9. Rear prop - check/replace/grease U/j and sliding joint, replace rubber 'doughnut'
10. Renovate rear brakes
11. Replace fuel filter
12. Take out in-tank fuel pump and clean internal filter
Sorry mate I'm bored now,
Cheers

Don't think I'd be taking that laning, at least, not on any 'good' lanes ..
