Default Work done at 250K

Hi all, my trusty 98 Futura has just turned over 250,000km and I have had a few things needing attention completed to keep her ship shape.
While these are all pretty "standard" maintenance issues for these sort of kms I thought a wee post might give a bit of an insight into what is likely to need attention for your own pride and joy when reaching these "moderate" kms.

It took 3 weeks to get all these things done- the wallet couldn't handle it all at once... :

1-Full service,including new air filter,plugs,fuel filter.
Cost $340.00
2-New main rear seal on transmission, new pan seal on transmission,
full tranny service.
Cost $280.00
3-Front rotors skimmed/machined.New front pads.
Cost $180.00
4-2 new rear tyres
Cost $240.00

So, about a $1000 all up, but pretty damn good I thought really.
Should see me right for a few more km's now.
Everything else is sweet.
And all the above can be put in the "wear and tear" category.Not a single "failure" so to speak.
Go the trusty Falcon!
