i'd do it again if i had to. i just did mine.

it was a great experience for me, cos I got to know more about the car since I had an excuse to inspect all the usual suspect parts during the process. in 1 go, i was able to:

1) IMS
2) RMS
3) waterpump was new ! (from last owner .. woohoo!)
4) belts were good
5) tranny was in good condition
6) changed the engine & tranny oil
7) the throttle body was clean ... AOS seems good
8) gave the underside a good de-greasing clean ....

its not that bad! since can do it with the engine in.
killing many birds with one stone .... well worth it IMO .... if you are a 2nd+ owner .... now you have a good basis to work off.
