not ignitin leads unless you have a black top saxowhich you dont

may need altenator belt if thats worn

could change gearbox oil, brake fluid, coolant, screenwash

How come a black top may need them changing and a silver top wouldnt hessle? Brake fluid will be done when i get my big brakes bought and on, how hard is the gearbox oil to change? My car has just done 30k miles do you think it needs gearbox oil, brake fluid and coolant doing?? Thanks for your help guys

silver tops have coil packs black tops have HT leads

its upto you weather you change them now your car may have done 30k but they have been in your car 5 years

as your getting big breaks change the fluid then saves wasting new stuff when you fit them

gearbox oil is fairly easy drain plug is on the diff its a square plug like your oil sump plug

fill is on end of gearbox a 19mm bolt
