The car , mine since birth, only has 59K miles (5speed) but all I ever did was change oil regularly (6months.). This means original hoses, timing belt, coolant, brake fluid, accessory belt. Dealer did the 30K maint for me (prob 5 years ago).
so -
1. which hose is most likely to burst first and at what age? I was thinking of just replacing the main radiator hoses and maybe not the 2 hoses for the heater core.
2. Timing belt - book says 70k miles or 7 years. I'm still thinking of stalling to 65K miles at 10.5 years (only because my kids are learning to drive stick, who knows if car will last 3 months with them behind wheel).
3. Anything I forgot? Maybe I should replace thermostat.
4. I guess I could have the brake fluid flushed.
I'll check bay13 to see how to bleed air from coolant if I decide to do myself.
Also 60K maint is due - at 30k I was surpriced they didn't replace some distributor component (cap & rotor) but that's for 60k as i recall.
