I've booked in to Courtney & Patterson in melb. Hopefully they're one of the good ones!. I took it to them briefly (for fault code check) when I had DCT issues and they seemed OK.

If oil changed 3000km ago was right spec then I reckon I'll wait until 90,000km to change again. By that time it'll be 18,000km between changes...should be fine?

Fuel filter done a few weeks ago

Air filter...not sure so I reckon I'll just get it done. Part cost from ford is $40 so if they open up to check they may aswell change it.

Thanks for the EGR system tip. Seems strange that it isn't mentioned in Service Guide (that I can see).

How about the cooling and AC system checks?

I do know that, but wasn't sure whether the glow plugs ever need replacing? They do have glow plugs right?
