So I was just trying to make a mental (ok, written, my memory isn't what it used to be!) check list of common 'service items' - not necessarily Omega specific, but for any car..

So far what I've got is what's on the usual manufacturers service schedules, so;

Oil
Oil filter
Air filter
Pollen/cabin filter
Spark plugs
Brake pads/shoes/disks
Brake fluid
Coolant
Gearbox oil/ATF
Diff oil
Power steering fluid
Clutch fluid (if hydraulic)
Accessories belt
Fuel filter


Ok ok, so I cribbed some of those from the guide here ( http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152655085/0 ).. anything I've forgotten?

The aim of this is so I can keep a little table of when I change things .. because like I say, I have a terrible memory! (I'm sure the oil change interval on the MR2 swings between 6000 miles and 2000 miles because I can never remember when I did it last without digging through receipts..)
