Hello all. I am a new member to this forum (lurking for a long time) and it certainly seems to be full of very helpful information so how can I go wrong ?!
Anyway I am the proud, new owner of a ´95 4.6 HSE that has done only 115K - this is low milage for over here in NZ.
I have been going through various things to get it into top shape and I suspect that many items have not been changed from new. I have found that spares over here are hideously expensive - NZ$65 (US$46) each for pollen filters and the same for a cv boot. They hung Ned Kelly for less than that. I ended up buying a boot from a cv specialist for a third of that price.
Anyway I suspect that the spark plug leads are original as is the fuel filter and maybe the plugs themselves and so I am slowly making up a list of what MUST be replaced. I have had good experiences with Bosch items in the past but many people on this list reckon that factory parts are the way to go. I have not even bothered to price these items from the local dealers as my heart probably woundn´t stand the shock.
Is anybody able to give an opinion regarding Bosch electrical, fuel and general filter parts? Also they list a complete set of filters etc for my machine.
Many thanks in anticipation
