Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have a 1.3 wt coily sierra and it is just about to hit the 200 thousand mark, i haven't done a service on it since i got it 9000ks ago but the bloke i brought it off was a x macahic, the car runs great and doesn't mis a beat starts first tern of the key every time. I'm going to change the engine oil + filter, fuel filter air cleaner i checked the diff oils thay look brand new still haven't checked gearbox or transfer should i change them as well?, my transfer dose have a slite wine in it manly in low range it is noticeable is this normal? what else should i change or check since its at 200 thousand mark and what grade oils do i use for what, i did abit of a search and come up with 15/40 engine and 90/140 for transfer,diffs and gearbox is this right? any help would be good thanks

cheers Scott

200 thousand id be thinkn bout changin the timing belt on it, a good guide is to change it every 100 thousand although sum require it to be done more frequent then that.

Sierra timing belts to be changed normally every 80,000km.
If owned by mechanic I'd guess he's done it at the 80,000km and 160,000km mark. Nevertheless, if the previous owner hasn't give you a logbook or indication of the service history, changing the belt now will be a good idea.

thanks for that, i dont have any servise history on the car at all so you recon change the timeing belt as well any thing else i should change or check?

Probably the normal stuff like spark plugs, leads, cap, oil /filter change, diff and transfer oils and flush the cooling system... thats what id be doing.
