chopper   10 #2 Posted July 3, 2009 for a basic service you are obviously going to do oil and filter, then i would also change fuel and air filter aswell. you could change the glow plugs also, which while not as important to a diesel engine as spark plugs are to a petrol, they will help you start the car when the temperature drops. another thing i would suggest is make sure you battery is in good condition as this is hard worked on starting diesels and when old will cause starting problems, and not being able to bump diesels it could leave you stuck somewhere..
