Thanks Mr B it all sounds sound advice... Servicing is something that I'm planning on doing myself from now on The car came serviced but I think I'm going to do again just for piece of mind... What flush treatments do you recommend for my model? also what oil and coolant do you recommend? And at what mileage intervals do you recommend doing the oil/coolant . The car is used for the daily commute to and from work a 8 miles round trip and used for a bit of fun at weekends nothing to stressful my days of launching are well behind me lol but I still enjoy the symptoms of a lead foot occasionally otherwise the XT would be pointless.
