Re: DIY Servicing

[M400DPC]

Gentlemen

Can anyone help me out re servicing. Now that Roush aren no longer servicing Im going to do it myself with the assistance of a mechanic. Any help with the following would be appreciated:

1. What is the best oil to use?
2. Does anyone know the the part number of the V groove belt that drives the crankshaft, the alternator, and the air conditioning. Mine has been squeaking since I bought it because it is running slightly off centre.
3. Any know the part number of the brake pads?

Also if anyone can recommend someone in the Surrey/Berkshire area who can carry out a good Noble service Id be interested to hear.

Thanks

Dan

Noble recommend Shell Helix Ultra 5W/40 Fully synthetic although a lot of people use Mobil 1

Use ONLY a Gates drive belt - part number 6pk1708. 'Compatible Belts' are known to shred prematurely.

A matter of choice. I use Ferodo DS2500's

There is a company in Surrey but I no longer recommend them. Trimar, (previously the TVR Centre and also known as Noble London) are in Barnet. A little bit further to go but I've always found them to be excellent.

Servicing is very straightfrward, but beware the effect on resale value when you tell prospective buyers that you don't have a FSH.

When I tried to sell mine last year, people seemed obsessed with it, which actually did me a favour as I've still got it and I love it!
