ALL Right! no longer do I have to tell someone to search for Mike's 60K service!!!!!

Just wanted to add that a D1 does not take power steering fluid, it is ATF.

Thanks Mike!

Post your unrelated question as a new and separated question, this has nothing to do with a 60K service.

Default magnecore wires...

Disco Mike, where do you source the spark plug wires from. I looked at roverparts but they list them as 7mm. Where do I find the 8mm?
