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.

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.

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?
