Major Service - What would you do?, What would you replace? Options

[JoshuaM]

Hey Guys,

Apart from all the JDM goodies on order, it is time to do some general maintenance on the car too. I bought the car a year ago with 141,000kms, and it just clicked over to 154,000kms. I had the timing belt replaced when I bought it, and I have done one simple oil and filter change in this period (probably about 8 months and 5,000kms ago, so definately time for another one). I am planning on changing the oil and filter again tomorrow, but I wanted to do a comprehensive service very soon, as although I know the car had been serviced regularly, I have a suspicion it hasn't been by the log book specifications.

I have just bought some NKG Iridium IX spark plugs, and I am also planning on changing the fuel filter and the manual transmission fluid (getting the grinds). I just wanted to ask what else would you do to keep the engine in top shape, without know what had been changed when?

Thanks,
Joshua


P.s. also, this is as good a time to ask as any, my radiator has green fluid in it, although there are rusty coloured edges on all of the plastics around the cap. Does this mean the car just started off with red coolant and it stained, or do I have rust in there? And is this a problem? (I have no heating problems whatsoever, no matter how I treat it it always sits dead centre on the gauge!)
