Maintenece 'to do' list!

[Bertsbus]

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help.... We've got a 1.6 diesal t25 (1988) i think its a JX engine. We've had him for about a month now and in that time all we've checked is the oil! Does anyone have a simple 'to do' list which shows what we should do and when? Its got a recon engine which does kick out a little bit of black smoke but generally seems to run pretty well, we just want to keep it that way! Thank you
