The GU's just topped 110,000km's so the 120,000km service is looming. This is a big one which includes changing all the filters and drivetrain lubricants, doing the tappets, timing, wheel bearings etc. Nissan quoted $1100. Hubby and a mate have done all the drive train stuff and timing themselves but not the tappets or wheel bearings. Nissan want $350 to check the wheel bearings which a) seems expensive? b) do they really need to be done (there is no play in them or anything obviously wrong) and c) we're heading up th GRR mid-year which is why we've brought the servicing forward a bit as we'll hit 120,000k's whilst away so should this impact our decision on whether to get them done or not. Hubby reckons he'd rather have them done after the trip because it's then that they'd be more likely to have water and crap in them. We plan to have the vehicle given a good pre-trip check over with Robson Bros. 4WD here in Perth before we go but we don't want to go overboard with unnecessary jobs. Can anyone offer any comments?
