What maintenance should I do?

[JoeBananas]

Morning
Had my 182 since January and I've been working my way through a "to do list".
It's a bit tricky to know what to do next, the service manual gives you something to follow if it's been driven regularly through its life. Mine hasn't; it's only done 43k so it doesn't follow the usual path.

Done list:
Pollen filter
Coolant
Front pads and discs
Oil and filter change
Brake fluid
Lambda Sensor
Battery
Tyres
Gearbox oil changed yesterday (good god that stuff stinks!!!)
*Air filter is one of those boxed ktec ones so isn't supposed to need doing.
Need to the rear brakes at some point.

Is there any obvious or urgent maintenance that I'm missing?

Thanks

Have the belts been done? Also the aux belt tentioner

Oh yes, knew there'd be something I'd miss off the list. They were done last year and before that in 2010. It's been very well looked after.

This is what it says on the service book.

Wow, halfords [emoji90][emoji90]
Doesn't look like its had a dephaser done. Providing it runs fine and such would suggest the belt change has actually been done right.

My suggestion would be keep an ear for the dephaser going faulty, you wont miss it your car will sound like a diesel when warm. When that happens take it to your closest specialist and get the full set changed. (Timing belt kit, dephaser, cam seals?, aux belt and the tentioner.

Until then enjoy the car! Cant see much else you've missed

K-tec and Halfords have done the belts?

Good luck.

I'll keep a listen out for. Thanks for your help.

(Might do the spark plugs soon too)

If I owned it last year then I wouldn't have got it done by halfords, but I'd rather it be done by them than not at all.

If it runs well then it’s all good. Maybe take it to a specialist or someone you can trust to check the timing is all good.

Spark plugs are cheap enough if they've not been done?

Post up a picture of the engine bay if you can.

Ah good idea, I'll try that. Thanks.

I do need to pull my finger out and get that sorted, the NGK ones. I'm always a little hesitant cos I don't want to balls it up when I screw them in.

Just make sure you don't cross thread them and torque them to the proper torque, which isn't actually that tight
