My MCS is just about on 60K, given my wierd service intervals it is not due for another service just yet.

However at 49,998 I got the following replaced

Clutch - it was slipping a touch mainly in second gear !

Both window regulators - the good old thump-the-door fix had stopped working on the passenger wide and the drivers side was temeramental.

Front brakes / rotors
Rear brake pads

They also replaced a ball joint and the passenger side CV joint due to damaged boots.

My car was in for a ten days !
