Hey people,
Its been a little while since I last posted, I apologise for not staying true, but driving is too good, I just forget to stay in touch with da zone!
As stated, my moredoor 320i SE is coming up to its 150,000mile mark, and I wanted to treat it to something special!
I have a few things I would like to do, i.e. replace bushes, tyres, give her a good clean...!
But is there anything else I should look to check/replace?
I know its a bit of an open ended question, as I could quite possibly replace anything, but is there things I should look out for?
Oh before I forget, what is the rubber joint called inbetween the suspension springs, something mount....?!
Cheers me lovelys!
150,000 Birthday, What should I do?!

New clutch fluid, mine was gopping and eventually I had to replace the clutch cylinders.
E30 Touring 0.35 cD - more slippery than prison soap

I'd replace all the fluids, and suspect rubber bits, give it damn good clean inside and out and keep on driving the thing!Morat wrote:New clutch fluid, mine was gopping and eventually I had to replace the clutch cylinders.

Fluids are a good call. I think my clutch cylinders are still in good nick so I probably leave that for now.
Thanks for the help, I know it was a easy question, just thought they maybe something specific I needed to do once it hit the 150K milestone!
Again many thanks!

150,000 miles???
in this case what you can do is begin to open the taps as it should just about be run in!!
seriously when was last cam belt/waterpump/front cam oil seal done?
new plugs/oil/filter/fuel filter.
check the distributor rotor and replace if necessary,
check the coolant condition, replace if more than a few years old.
top of the windscreen bottle and enjoy the next 150,000
