Assuming you do the services

And change all fluids....gearbox, transfer, differentials, steering, coolant, brakes

Is there anything else you can do?
Some suggest changing hoses. Are there more details and what should I tell my indie to do ?
All thoughts welcome.

hi a must.if top rad hose end is brown put new one on before it destroys and fit 80 deg thermostat

Pcv valve and associated hoses..also as already said the upgraded thermostats a great idea..good few posts in here about it and it makes a lot of sense..

I asked the same thing a while back http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic37512.html

and Craig @ CamTech gave mine a thorough inspection (and the car )

The oils are a given, lubricating the turbo actuator for the second turbo is a given (in case the previous owner drove like Miss Daisy), he did the oil seal that leaks (replacing it with one that doesn't) but it didn't need anymore than that and I'd be surprised if you do either.

As you'll see from my thread, there isn;t any known issues with the hoses on the 4.4 as such. Two members had different problems but no patterns yet so they were inspected and left as is.

He's got a late TDV8 so thermostat mod, top hose and PCV valve won't apply....

My advice is take it out and get it hot then drive it like you stole it for a while, a lot of problems with the later diesels is because people drive them far to softly, they need to be used to their max at least once a month, it does no harm to the car but really does help to keep everything working as it should....

Use it or lose it...  Pete
