My cars coming to her 72,000 miles service etc, what realistically needs to be done? and how much will it cost?
1.6 hlx 1999
 
cambelt im guessing, as for cost not sure im sure the others will be able to help you better
 
well, if you've been following the service history, then go with the handbook. If not, then at 72K, its a pretty major service. the most expensive of them all. i have no idea what Fiat would charge mind you. click this for a list of what needs done:

You should bevery seriously considering the timing belt & tensioner at 72k unless its been done in the last 40k

you might also want to consider replacing brake/clutch fluid, and the engine coolant/antifreeze at 72k, unless you know its been done last year.

And gearbox oil, fuel filter, adjust rear brakes and handbrake, PAS fluid...
 
i'll check it out in the morning! cheers dudeees!!!
 
fuel filter is in the 72k service schedule and the brakes are checked and asjusted as part of a major service anyway.(unless you get a total cowboy anyway)

forgot about pwr steering fluid though and gearbox oil though. good call there.

I'm guessing theres about £250 worth of work at a garage there. half that cost is the cambelt, and the cambelt IS important.

Should point out that thats the IDEAL 72k service liat above. the bare minimum list is whats shown on the link i posted, and will set you back in the region of £200 as its still a mojor service, and that cambelt/tensioner is expensive to have done.

Im looking at some cars that have done below average miles.

in this case, should the service have been carried out earlier...

eg. camblet at 72,000 or 7 years?
