Oil type - as per handbook. Why do you need to know where the diesel pump is?
Remember to prime the fuel filter once you've replaced it. You need to remove the rocker cover to get at the manual pump for priming.

It's below the intake for the air filter, you will need to remove it for access.

Can't remember, but I didn't have any past experience other than a how-to which I found on here. If you aren't confident though I would take it to a garage.
Oil, air, pollen and diesel filter. Can't remember when the plugs get done. You don't need to touch the turbo either. Using the wrong grade of oil may kill it though.

I'm having my mate do my service in 1500 miles time.
Will probably be changing the radiator as well as it's got a hole.
Let us know how you get on with the servicing - as if its a PITA i'll prep him before he starts!
Do you mean fuel filter when speaking about Diesel Filter?
