   If i was to manually service the car what 'needs' or what you recommend is changed. I had, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, oil change in mind.

   Ahhh shit yeah the spark plugs. The cambelt does need doing, how much you reckon it will cost to have it done at the garage? Will more than likely have the water pump done as well at the same time.

   usually costs about £160 for a cambelt
   needs doing every 72k miles i think? best to change it before just for good measure though.
   
   could change the coolant/water while you're at it if it hasnt been changed in a while. No point if you're changing the cambelt though, as you may need a new water pump which means theyll change the coolant/water anyway

   so around 200-250 for the water pump to be changed too? I dont mind doing the rest myself but not to confident on the old cambelt change tbh. Cheers guys!

   well they usually look at it at the time and decide whether its worth putting back or replacing.
   water pumps only cost like £30
   
   yeah best not to do it if you arent confident enough lol
