Preventitive Maintenance

Hi Guys

I sold my 3.0 E53 after an excellent year of driving, and a couple of faults, including a full on road fail (fuel pump). So I chopped it.

Turns out I really miss the E53, so I am going in again!

For some reason I am going to buy a mint but, high mile (nudging a 100,000 miles) 2005 V8, however I do have the quite an appetite to throw some cash at it when I purchase it. (really hard to find a low mile one now, in such nice condition)

What to you guys think would be the top 5 preventative maintenance items?

I am thinking
- New battery
- New fuel pump (for sure thats what got me last time)
- New hoses and header tank on cooling system
- New water pump?
- New oil in Tranny + diff(s)

I have a good indy shop to do all the work, anything obvious I missed?

Cheers
stu
