Right the car is currently on 97k and by the end of the month / early next it will be near to 100k. The car definently needs a good service as it does pretty heavy mileage - mainly motorway, bit of town, by both myself and previous owner, car has been serviced fairly regularly, but its just been fairly standard service each time & i don't think any major parts have been changed
Its only 5 Years old - 2000 on a v plate Corsa b - Club 1.2 16v
Only problem car currently has is EML Light is constantly on but it has been like this for well over 8 months and fuel consumption is fine 
So what parts do i need to replace to keep it all running pretty smooth for a good while. I was thinking;
Spark Plugs
Oil Filter
Oil Change Obviously!
Pollen Filter
Rear Drums & Shoes (Drums are fair rusted)
Front pads if needed (2.0 EBC Greens Stuff's - so should be ok)
Fuel FilteR?
Cat? looks fair rusty?
Wheel Bairings?
Wipers, light bulbs all look ok
so what else? all suggestions needed so i can order what i need from autovaux
