Default Service Advice

I drive a Subaru 2000 uk turbo. I am due a service as I believe that it needs doing around every 6 months. I there has been so many services as my car is 10 years old that the service book is full so I am now just keeping the invoices.
The question is in my last service in August I had a lot changed.
Cluch fluid
Rear break Pads
Oil change 5w40
Oil Filter
Air Filter
Engine flush (What ever that is)
So now it is 8 months later should I get another service or just an oil change?

Oil and filter change, and a general checkover of the car, as a minimum.

When did it last have the gearbox and diff oil, sparkplugs and cambelt replaced?

Not too sure. Only had it a year. Won't all that stuff be expense?

You should be able to work out exactly what needs doing, from the service receipts that you've already had, and the Service Interval Schedule that is printed in the service book

As the service book is full of stamps it is hard to work when things have been done could take it to the subaru specialist to work out what needs doing

If in doubt do the lot, gives you 2 years of cheap servicing then as your only going to need oil changes
