Suggested: Change the t-belt Replace the plugs with NGK's as they are original equipment, original design Replace the fuel filter Service the transmission if it's an automatic; flush if manual (Try to get Japanese fluids if they are available!) Check the suspension and replace the struts if they still have the originals Change the oil and filter: Castrol GTX is the best if NZ hasn't also destroyed it in the name of ecology like the US . Drain and refill the cooling system with 50% coolant/water . Replace the thermostat for GP . How much would servicing the auto transmission cost? That's one think on my list of tasks, as the car is at 143,000kms . The oil, filter etc was done at the last service about 2000 km ago, so I won't worry about that for now . Changing the timing belt is the first thing I'm going to do . What effect will changing the fuel filter have? Drive and enjoy your Honda . . they are faithful pups . . . . although missing a lot in the personality department, but they run and run and run . Drive hard and don't baby it . . . they like that! After my Civic, I think it's a very fun car to drive (not that the Civic wasn't, it was just very slow) . This car is surprisingly fast too, I didn't buy it to be a fast car but that it is (by my standards) . Anyway, I got 2 . 5 more mpg by driving it hard than by driving it 'economically' . Either I don't know how to drive economically, or you're very right! |
