When it comes to these 100k services etc, how do i know what i have to do/what HAS been done if the receipts i got with the car don't show anything like that being done?
Don't wanna waste money doing stuff that's been done or doesn't need doing.
Or is it best to do them anyway because otherwise it will do damage?

have a look at the trans pan for a new gasket (trans needs changing of the oil before 100k service)

new fan belt
new water pump housing??
plugs and leads changed
marks on the harmonic balancer bolt

Take the top of the covers off so that you can see the timing belt on the right side of the engine (be easier to get to)

Main things that need doing, are the following.

Cam Belt
Water pump
Serpentine belt
Leads
Spark plugs
Rotors
Distributors
Fuel Filter
Air filter
Trans fluid if not done.
Good time to do fan fluid.
Coolant / thermostat - even if already done - the water pump will like new TLLC
Various Bearings.
PCV valve clean

Probably a few other things here and there.

I'm doing pretty much everything I can do. I figured why not - even if its not vital and still working, all the parts on this car are 18 years old so I'd rather be happy knowing they are as good as new, things like the starter I'm replacing since the intake system is off. Not taking it all off again that's for sure!
