I bought my 3 door Cosworth in January 2012 and before putting it on the road i changed the oil and filter etc. now its been off the road since september and will be back out in april. Since i dont know for sure whats been done previous i'd like to do a big/main service. What im asking is what should be done?

Also if you could list parts and where is best to get um. Hopefully Matt Lewis will stock most of them. I dont need advise on oil as I already use mobil1 10/60 and im happy with that.

Cheers again.

 

plugs air filter and cambelt, for a start!

 

Cambelt got done in august down Turbosystems.

What plugs would you recommend. Ive seen an array of opinions.

 

I would do the fuel filter aswell.As for plugs,it's all dependant on the spec of your engine.

Thanks.Lee.

 

Its t.35.55/55's/livemap. 380-400.

So far ive got..

Oil
Oil filter
Fuel filter
Plugs

Air filter is group A so will just want a clean and cambelt just done.

 

Plugs...ford 071's are fine.... Matt Lewis

Fuel filter ... matt Lewis

Oil filter ... Matt Lewis

Oil ... You have your own

That's all would change is it ran fine before and it's had a cam belt change .

 

Ross make sure you gap the plugs.

 

Thanks lads.

Gary what would you recommend gapping the plugs too? If we say its running 30-32psi?

 

If still on standard ignition system, very small, around .6MM.

Also no one has mentioned coolant, it depends when it was last changed, unless you know I would change it.

Ross just see what Tony's gapped your current plugs too.

 

Its got a grpA coil, and coolant is a good one I didnt think of.

Yeah Gary i think i will just do that mate.

 

If it hasn't already I would replace the fuel and fan wiring

 

Fuel is done.

Fan is on order from Matt. Thanks.

 

Change the gearbox and diff oils.

 

As above .6m on standard ignition system.Brake fluid may need changing and bleeding through the system if not already done,just a thought.
Another thing check the condition of your auxillary belts if not already done.

Thanks.Lee.

 

Thanks alot for everyones input.

Ive sored most of the things wirh Matt, but the mention of belts has reminded me i need those.

 

Have the oils if needed Ross aswell

 

No problem. May well add those to the list aswell Matt.

 

Standard ignition ? dizzy cap and rotor arm.No one has mentioned that.First thing I did with mine was cap,r/arm ,f filter,oil&filter,plugs leads,coolent and clean air filter.For the price of the cps etc I would change them all.Well if I was in this situation again.Oh and a good clean of the throttle body.
