Routine servicing

My car is due a major service (including tappets) and is booked in for later this month. I have had distributor belt service and new brake fluid recently, the tech suggested fuel filter and gearbox oil is a good idea every couple of years and I'll get the geometry checked too.

Is there anything else that should be done as routine or preventative maintenance? The car has done 52k kms and while I do not want to replace perfectly good parts I am conscious it is 15 years old so there may be parts that need renewal.

Any thoughts or recent experiences?

Thanks
 
Get the wishbones checked. My rubbers are shot and I need to replace mine at next service.

I may go for Uniball replacements. RS ones end in 08 part no. so be sure they order the correct ones! I was quted about £500 for a pair.

Sounds like you've pretty much got it covered. Might be worth getting it corner weighted when you have the suspension done. Only other thing is check brake and clutch flex hoses - tend to deteriorate over time.
