Hi all,

I have previously owned a TDV8 RRS and a 4.4 V8 BMW but looking at buying an L322 with the 4.2 supercharger.

What are the main maintenance milestones for the early 2005/06 4.2 supercharged cars ?

For example, are there any mileages where certain maintenance or preventative work should take place eg service the gearbox every 50k miles, change timing chain at 100k miles etc ?

Thanks in advance for your guidance

224k miles here and have just refreshed all pulley and engine ancilaries (alternator etc) and the supercharger snout. Timing chains are noisy now but I don't think they have been done before so lasted quite well.

I put this together for my new one, fairly conservative (low) intervals:

Crikey! That is cautious. Did my gearbox and diffs at 60,000 miles! Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

That's a great diagram @fanders
