welcome t'club.cant help with the must do jobs.you seem to of covered the ones to do.

Hi Ray, heres a good starting point http://www.club80-90.co.uk/wiki/index.p ... ive_Owners

Oil, plugs, oil air and petrol filters, check dizzy cap and rotor for wear, test coolant strength and/or ditch and refresh with the right stuff if suspect. Check brake + clutch pipes for leakages, and check brake fluid/level and clarity, or take it to T25 specialist (add your location to your profile please) Enjoy! bob.

just noticed your Aircooled ignore the relevent bits above

If changing the plugs on an Aircooled be EXTREMELY careful when putting the new ones in. As you are using a ratchet extension through the tin ware its dead easy to thread the plug hole by tightening at the wrong angle. make a mental note of the angle of the extension bar before you remove each plug, put a tiny ammount of grease on the new plug and put it in straight after you remove the old one . Also the plugs can fall inside the tinware if your not careful, I had a sparkplug socket which had a rubber grommet inside which held the top of the plug just enough to insert and remove.

Check the fuel lines for corrosion.

i will take extra care with the plug threads and have a peep at the fuel lines.

A little niggle - after around 10 miles the front offside wheel develops a squeel. It stops the moment i hit the brake pad. I have cleaned the pads, but still i have to turn the stereo up to drown the din. Is it poss that this is a bearing thing.

It could be to much play in a wheel bearing causing the disc to go at a slight angle to disc. It could be a partly seized caliper piston. could be worn discs or pads or both. Pads might need a slight chamfer on the sides, this seems to affect t25's alot. There is also a problem with late type calipers/pads/discs, the pads hang very slightly over the inner edge on the brake disc surface all is ok until pads are starting to wear and then the sueeks start, this can be solved by a chamfer on the bottom edge on pad.

And replace all the rubber pipes before they spray petrol over hot engine.

did you say Aircooled? the summer is just around the corner though eh !! so it wont matter.
