This has probably been answered somewhere else but I couldn't find it on the search.
I am at work in Malaysia (again) so have no means of accessing mundane information such as , how much oil, coolant, brake fluid I need to purchase.

The car in question is the 2.5TD elite estate. I have just set up a trade club account with the local garage, now I need to order the correct quantity of service parts to make the big savings. I'm getting them to carry out a full service as I don't really know the history over the last couple of years before I bought it and that's me owned it for just over a year now.
I am going to have to get SWMBO to take the car in but I will (hopefully) have purchased all the parts required first so it will not be a case of, sorry sir, we need to order that in!

So could somebody please help me with quantities of said items so I don't go buying too little or too much.

I need Oil (10-40 Semi synth) for a complete change
Brake fluid for a complete change
Coolant for a complete change
Not sure about manual box fluid change...it doesn't feel as though it needs it.

I think that's it fluids wise, if anyone knows any better please let me know, I think I have driven it a total of 1500 miles myself since buying it. SWMBO has put about 3k on though!

Thanks in advance chaps/chapesses

oil is either 6litres with filter or 6.5,
manual box rearely needs changing although i do it as a matter of course every 50k
brake fluid depends how they do it but a litre should change it all,
think coolant capacity is 9 pints but not sure on that!!
have found power steering fluid is beneficial in changing it, but only use dex11 not 3!!

Dex II added to list, cheers Graham, just trying to figure out what time it is there..... must be 10:45 or thereabouts.

Just coming to the end of the working day out here!
