I'm sure the diesel filter change was more frequent than 60? I thought 24? can't be sure so when I get the time I'm going to post up full AutoData service details for the various T3 engine models.
Just be aware there are lots of other things that should be checked annually for safety as well as serviceability, things that often get overlooked. ie: tappet clearances for instance.
