The CE is due a 12k service - its on 70k miles. It had the monster 36k service 15 months ago and ATF, various filters, brake discs + pads, plugs and checks were undertaken.
Looking at the service book I understand the following is required as its on the 12k cycle:
Any input appreciated

Looking at the service book I understand the following is required as its on the 12k cycle:
- Check fluid levels to tranny
- Oil and filter change
- Rear axle fluid
- Check all hoses and cables
- Check Cooling sytem, atf, brake system, PAS, battery, windshield washer, ac
- Poly V belt, does this need replacing, its almost 2 years and 19k old - nothing apparently wrong with it?
- Lubricate throttle linkage and rods, check for wear
- Check ball joints and rubber boots what do I look for?
- Tyres check tread and pressures
- Discs and pad check thicknesses what is the tolerance for discs - they were replaced at the 72k service?
- Parking brake check, what do I check? - it works fine
- Steering free play and linkage what is an acceptable amount of play, there is quite a bit with the engine off (an inch each way) but it seems fine when running - the car pulls slightly to the left?
- General checks of lights, wiper etc.
Any input appreciated
Cheers
