High Mileage Overhaul?

Messages

Hello all,

My EP3 has about 140,000 miles, which I have only had since last September. It has some good service history and under my ownership has had replacement:

Oil
Filter
Timing chain
Spark plugs
Valve clearances done
Cabin filters
Brake pads and discs
Exedy clutch

Is there anything specific I should think of changing with new, even though there is no obvious issues, like bushes, fuel filter etc, due to the mileage? Maybe even get some common issues looked at? As my clutch is sometimes squeky, as is the steering rack.

I was thinking of getting a full health check done by a specialist or something? Every time I go to a garage to get work done around my ends, they break something.
 
It won't hurt looking at bushes, engine mounts and gearbox mounts.
 
Fuel filter is every 75k so it is nearly due a second time.

Did you do the tensioner with the chain, and did you use a genuine chain?
