Default post xmas holiday car maintenance, need advice

hey guys. wanna make sure i'm not missing anything. Going to be doing my own 50k service after the christmas break. It is going to come at about 53,000 miles (it's when my haldex and oil need to be changed). So far, planning on:

oil change
haldex oil/filter
fluid top off
front strut bushing/bearing replacement
trans fluid change (prob redline MT90)

anything else i should add in there?

Let me know, TIA and TAT (thanks a ton :-P)

Default Since you're going all in...have you had your TB done yet?

The recommendation is 60k miles, but you're also looking at a 5 year old belt...just a suggestion.

Your also a tad late on the haldex (every 20k). Also, when was the brake fluid last changed?

Default It's involved, there are a bunch of writeups with pictures to give you an idea. >>>

Many of us have done it ourselves but it relly depends on what you are comfortable with.
