    As well as the usual oil changes, look after the cooling system. As the millage starts to get near 100K you should consider changing the expansion tank, rad, thermostat + WP. Stock up on o-rings to replace the ones in the push fit connectors also.

    Never heard of having to change radiator or expansion tank at 100k before, I've got a car with 170k and a van with 250k and neither have had that done. if you're getting a timing belt done then get the water pump done too, think its a timing chain on them anyway
