    I`m getting a set off new tires fitted tomorrow, and at the same time thinking about changing the gear oil and brake fluid myself. Are there any good links on a DIY for both these jobs on the 360? Brands, quantity and so forth... will be tracking her.
    Appreciate your replies:)

    Download the WSM or see Aldous Voice home page for "how to..."

    As for gear box oil; After extensive search I went for agip / eni Rotra LSX 75W90. WSM states 3,5 litres, but I found it hard to fill that much.

    As for brake fluid - It's on my to do list...

    u need another guy to help you out with the brake fluid change. unless you have some fancy tools

    actually, preferrably 3 people.

    one to pump your brake, one to release/tighten the bleed screw, one to observe/add fluid

    Gear oil change info I used was here. Not really that hard to do, just time consuming if you don't have a lift.

    Link to when I did my gearbox oil change my self. Although, just this last week I had Maranello Motorworks in Denver do my engine oil, and gearbox oil change....sure saved a lot of time.

    One person brake flush was a snap with a Motive bleeder (euro connection). Costs about $50-60. New OEM pads, measured and honed rotor surfaces, replaced old rubber lines with new SS lines and changed fluid. Brakes work great.

    Read somewhere that the rotor thickness should be 26mm minimum and are 27.94mm new. I would bet a lot of rotors get tossed and replaced with plenty of thickness left.

    Thanks alot for quick replies guys...The car will be on a lift for easier access to complete the job. But still the rear bumper has to come of for the gear box oil change, right?

    re gearbox fluid, read this thread, but be prepared to cry, laugh, and become more confused than ever;)

    Brake fluid change is a one (1) person operation with a Motive Brake Bleeder

    Not that fancy, but worth every penny.

    What I do, is when I have the car up on ramps for the oil change, I drain the gearbox and engine oil. Then what I do is remove the coolant tank and place it forward, supported on the engine, and remove the air filter box.
    This gives you access to the oil filler for the transmission. Undo it with an extension and u-joint. Fill and close back up.
