I asked this in the other 60K thread, but it got buried. Do you know if any of the supply houses offer all the bits needed for a 60K tune up?

Not sure about a kit, but the best thing to do is check the owners manual to see what all is suppose to be done. Or call the dealer and ask for a print-out of what is suppose to be done. I don't have mine in front of me, but I would assume you could put a list of supplies together and basically create your own kit. Buy the fluids, wires, plugs, ect. you want to buy, or purchase from dealer.

John,
You can go to someone like Atlantic British and buy a kit.
I think, and I have, that I would be better to go to a parts store and get the things you need and save some money. You will have to go there anyway to buy your oils and filters.
Do you know exactly what you need to do, if not get back to us and let us make sure you do all that needs to be done.
Good luck,
Mike J.

I was hoping to find, a kit that someone else had thought out and hopefully one could save by buying the kit rather than the parts individually.
Sure the fluids, I would buy at Walmart or a parts store.

Hey John:
Rover Connection sells a 30k kit which appeares to have everything you need - you're a DII guy, right?

They say the fluids are "local pick up only" so unless you're in their area, you'll have to buy those separate (as you indicated). I'd be curious to know how much $$$ they knock off the price if you aren't getting the fluids. Let me know what you find out.
Nice thing about Rover, our fluids are generic so it's not a problem.
At any rate, their kit includes pretty much all the parts you'll need. I haven't checked their price vs. what I paid a la cart, but at a glance, it looks like a deal.

Just checked the numbers:
I paid $184 +shipping for my parts (plugs, wires, air, oil and transmission filters) - their kit is $185 which includes the fluids. If they give you a decent credit for not getting the fluids, it's probably a good deal.
Oh yeah, I discovered that I overpaid on a couple of parts, I think you could get everything for closer to $150.

Cool,
Thanks Adrian, that's exactly the kinda think I was looking for. Usually, one can save a few bucks if you buy a kit.
Yes, I have a D2.
