Service Kit Diesel: Oil Filter/Air Filter/Diesel Filter/Sump Bung Washer/Cam Cover Gasket Kit/Tappet Shims/Screen Wash/ Oil 10W40/or 15W40 Turbo Diesel oil/Wiper Blades.

EXTRAS you might need: Transmission oil (manual or Auto) change if it's never been done/ Timing Belt Kit / Brake Pads / Brake Discs / Brake Shoes / Wheel Cylinders / Drive Belts / Bulbs / Tyres / Exhaust / Antifreeze (2 years) / Brake Fluid (2 years) / HT Leads / Rotor Arm & Cap.

And of course parts to repair any faults you may find on the way ie: steering joints/Suspension components/brake pipes/fuel tank/headlamps/lenses/horn/flex pipes/hoses/switches/fuses/Engine Mounts/Battery/Water Pump/ CV Boots / Steering Rack Gaitors etc.

If the van is new to you it may help to carry out the basic service first but write yourself a 'TO DO' list after you have carefully examined:

Steering

Suspension

Brakes

Lights

Tyres & Wheels

Fuel System

Cooling System

Ignition System

Engine

Gearbox & Clutch

Drive Line

Wipers & Washers

Interior

& finally...Body work.
