My 2006 D4D D/C 4x4 is going for a pre-trip (CKGR) service on Thursday. It is at 180 000 km. Any special items I should ask to be checked?

If it engage and disengage 4x4. Check brakes and brake piping. All oil levels, diffs,gearbox and transfer.

I am in Jhb. Thanks for the replies - all on the list to be checked. What about wheel bearings. I did a long trip this weekend and the only way I know to check is if the rim centre gets hot, but they were all cool.
Seriously considering doing the routine maintenance myself and using a private specialist to do a check every 10000km.

Also remember to check the pressure of your sparewheel.

next step - NOTE where you pack stuff !! :)

Elders is nicely kitted, with way too many compartments to pack stuff .... have "lost stuff" in there a couple of times ....

I now have a typed list of what goes where :)

Kobus, The most important parts are the wheelbearings. Chech the New SA4x4 where a guy was stranded in the Marienfluss for a week at a cost of nearly R80 000.00 for recovery. I have previously mentioned this on this FORUM...
