New to me '540

Hey folks, just got into my 540 a couple of weeks ago, I’m absolutely loving the car! I’m just shy of 100k miles now, is there any services yall would reccomend me doing?

I have just completed a trans and both diff flushes, have also been looking for a copy of ISTA to reset trans parameters and get my tcase serviced as well.

Absolutely loving the car, would love to hear what yall have to say as well, this car really makes the inner child happy

You can run stand alone versions of ISTA.. No need for licensing/cost etc.

True, but I needed to be verified to dm the guy for the link.

Long story short I got it running and blew my pcv valve gasket thing at the top of the motor so now I am waiting for that to come in the mail🥲 second annoying isssue in my ownership so far but I haven’t had a break the bank problem yet at least 😆
