Service Parts and other part numbers

[cp81]

In process of my project which is now having a body off and needs a good servicing and a number of items replacing. I have been searching through on service items, but wish to get people's recommendations and part number references for:

Oil Filter
Serp engine belt
Fuel filter
Spark Plugs
Engine Oil
Gearbox Oil
Diff OiL
Power Steering Fluid

I have found several references for the above but really looking for what is mostly commonly used and best for a Serp Engine for road use, no track day but spirited Sunday morning drives.

Also I would like to know part numbers or references for:

Exhaust manifold gasket
Rocker cover gasket

It just the start, so I will probably having more questions later. Any advice and guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

There will obviously be differing opinions on many of these, but to give you a starting point this is what I used:

Oil Filter - http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/search/501670019 (If you have an oil cooler use 501590059)
Serp engine belt - http://www.powersperformance.co.uk/store/slug/serp...
Fuel filter - http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/search/503440039
Spark Plugs - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400743667088
Engine Oil - (Generally you'll need around 6L - I buy 4 at a time) http://www.classic-oils.net/Penrite-HPR15
Gearbox Oil - Assuming you have a T5 box http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/p/-/-/-/-/?522...
Diff OiL - I have a GKN diff (you'll need 2x 1L to have enough) http://www.tyres-outlet.co.uk/cgi-bin/oshop.pl?ite...
Power Steering Fluid - I just used this as a top up http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/p/-/-/-/-/?549...

Any of the carparts4less part numbers will also work on euro car parts.

Not sure on the gaskets - I'm sure powers (same link as the belt) will stock them, contact them if there's any doubt - good to buy all at once from them to save on the postage!

Hope this helps!

Cracking advice there, you could probably find the belt on car parts 4 less too if you get the numbers off it for the length, someone may be along soon who knows it.

GR_TVR great list, many thanks. What coolant do you use?

No worries!

I used this: http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/p/-/-/-/-/?523...
They do a ready to use version as well as that concentrate.

Most important thing is to not change the type you had before as they can react badly - so check if you've got blue or red etc now and stick to the same one.


Looks like they've got a code "MADNESS" on the site to give 13.5% off today if you're ready to buy some things. It's free shipping on any amount as well which is nice.
