120K Service
Hi Guys, Looking for your expert opinions again...
My car has now done almost 113K, so the next service is a big 'un. I intend the keep the car for another 2 and a bit years (until I get my State Pension over here) and I am sure I have read on this site that some owners don't bother replacing the spark plugs at 120K and just soldier on regardless - if it's not broke don't fix it kinda idea. I know these cars are remarkable, mine still drives like an absolute dream and just sailed thru its MOT at the end of May. I only do around 7K-9K a year so I just wondered if you guys thought it worthwhile me spending a lot of cash to get the spark plugs replaced at the 120K service? When it comes time to say bye bye I'll be trading in so won't get much back for the car, so is it worth the outlay if I am not having any problems. I do not drive the car hard and it is mostly urban mileage.
As always I look forward to your comments and advice, many thanks in advance.....

I'd swap out the plugs in either engine whether its a 3mz or a 2gr.....Change the trans fluid & filter as well as the diff & transfer case fluid....a gallon of Maxlife & a trans filter as well as 2 qtrs of diff fluid.....Keep it going as you might keep it longer.
