Have got a couple of days off during "kiddy week" (half term) so will take the opportunity to service the car (91 plate Clipper), can I ask suggestions on parts please e.g. oil filter, plugs, oil etc, does it really matter what brand I go for, currently looking at carparts4less as they seem good value?
All suggestions welcome, thanks in advance.

1/ 122,000 miles
2/ Been standing for a wee while (hence the service)

PS is 10w40 Semi-Synthetic oil best to use?
Thanks again.

Replace fuel filter - £5 job
Bleed brake fluid and change - fairly cheap job
Also maybe get the wheels off and check the brakes and pads - pads are fairly cheap too
I also try and shampoo the interior twice a year - autoglym shampoo £10
