I don't think that timing chains are changed as matter of routine - only if they rattle?

Other than that ..

Engine oil

Oil filter
Fuel filter
Air filter
Cabin filter

Brake fluid
Engine coolant
Automatic Transmission Fluid

Spark plugs

Fuel evaporator canister (though not many bother)

The above are scheduled service items, i.e. items requiring replacement at set mileage/time intervals, regardless of condition.

There are many other service items that require replacement based on condition upon inspection: brake disks and pads, tyres, suspension components, windscreen wipers, exhaust etc.

These should all be checked when a major service (Service B) is carried out.

PS - to the scheduled service items list - should add keyfob batteries replacement (both fobs).
