    Default Servicing My VS Commodore! What should be done?

    Hey fellas,
    I've got a vs commodore automatic V6, and am wondering what should I do with the servicing as it's due for a full service. The water pump looks like it's on its way, as there's rusty colored water underneath it so i've purchased a new one which i will fit soon. I've also got some radiator flush "to get rid of the rusty stuff" and a new standard temp thermostat to suit as well as some coolant. Oils and filters need replacing as well as plugs and leads. The car's very original and bugger all has ever been replaced on it. I'm also doing the front brakes and discs along with the service.

    is there anything i've missed?

    Cheers!

    air cleaner, diff oil, check rear main seal, brakes, check battery if its not maintence free. and check the steering rack for any leaks.

    only other thing i can think of is fill the radiator with oil and the sump with water...
