Servicing a Seven - Checklist
gingerprince - 30/7/07 at 04:07 PM

Does anyone have a comprehensive checklist of things to check/service on a seven from a servicing perspective? Of course there's oil/filters/plugs/fluids/pads etc but other things such as greasing bits, checking certain things etc etc.

I assume garages have a "standard checklist" of stuff to do on "major" and "minor" services for standard cars, but wondered if someone had created anywhere a more specific seven/kit car version?

Would be nice as a general "make sure I don't forget anything" tool, but also for documentation of service history etc.



Thanks, Sy

We have a checklist to ensure all critical components are checked, nuts and bolts are tight and fluid levels topped up before doing a trackday. We usually spend a few hours going through the list a day or two beforehand and tick them off as and when checked/completed.

I would say

Check suspenion for wear and shocks for leaks.

Check tightness of all suspension and steering bolts.

Change oil and filter.

Change/clean air filer.

Check/change fuel filter.

Check body work is attached ok.

Check under bonnet levels.

Check for leaks and any pipes/hoses chaffing.

Check brakes for wear, leaks and adjustment.

Check tyres pressures and tread and wheel tightness.

Also check wheel bearings for play

These yours? VVVVVVV

What about presumably less frequent things like diff oil, prop uv greasing? wheel bearing regreasing? given the low mileage of these things are they "once in a blue moon" or still every 12 months or so? what i'm concerned about is missing those "little easy overlooked but important" things.
