Hi mate, ref spark plugs, don't believe the hype! They are no big deal, remove battery to make it easier, and having the right length extension bar helps!

* Coolant - if you have no history of it being changed within the last 2 years.

* Cambelt (and tensioners) - if you have no history of it being changed withiin the last 45,000 miles.
