2x cabin pollen Filters
1x Engine Air Filter
1x Engine oil filter
6x litres engine oil
I x Serpentine Belt
1 CV Joint Assy
1 CV Joint boot Kit
1 axle end oil seal
Set front EBC Red Stuff brake pads
Total cost A$200 inc shipping costs. Apart from the oil and oil filter all parts came from the UK.

I took some pics whilst changing the CV Joint if anyone would like pointers. The Stake nut is a real challenge.

PICS: yes please!!! it is indeed a good time to get stuff from the UK!

goodonya Wayne.

We've started to get a few service kit components together like pollen filters, oil filter, air filter (model specific), oil drain plug. Maybe fuel filter for earlier P38's.

What else do you guys reckon is useful?

I'm not so keen on spark plugs as these may vary depending on LPG fitment and personal preference... still happy to consider though.

If we can get a volume of kit together we may be able to improve the savings a bit while the AUD is strong.

Cheers, Paul.

Serpentine belt

I always had a look at mine when my head is under the bonnet and it always appeared in good shape. When I got the old one off it was not that great, in fact there were a couple of areas that were quite rough with bits missing from the grooves. I am convince the general noise of the engine ticking over has improved with the new belt. An easy swap and very cheap from the UK plus its light weight

My idea!!!

A set of HRA-AULRO "emergency swap out" parts/equipment in each state:

- Reco'd EAS valve block
- Reco'd EAS compressor
- Re-soldered/fresh fuse block
- Net book, cable and EAS unlock
- Multi-license Faultmate

Rules of use: 48 hours turnaround, last user pays for a new one if part is no good for next user (checked in & out by HRA rep. on each use).

Sorry mate, I know its an expensive inventory but we all gotta dream every now and then!!!

Seriously though, the ZF Auto service kits aren't that expensive and probably worth having. And perhaps a little item I just bought a half dozen of (bnut haven't gotten around to doing anything about) fuel injector service kits (they include new O rings and filter baskets).
