Default Service interval. What is required?

Hey there.

I tried searching the forum but do not know how to go about this? My SC is reaching its 110k mark and I did change the time belt recently but do not have the service manual.
Any way to find this or have a list of what to change in the coming months or years?

Ideally I'd like to find a list of WHAT I should replace or what potential pot holes could I encounter in the time to come.
So far I've changed the spark plugs and wires, the air filter, liquids where possible and recharged the AC.

I've yet to change the transmission fluid and have this weird vibration coming from the gear box at speed, a tiny rattle but that does annoy me. Just want my SC to be spoilt and loved where possible.
Any help is appreciated.

You’ve already done most important stuff like timing and serpentine belts, plugs, wires, fluids. I don’t know what condition your brakes are, most people that mod their sc look into ls400 calipers along with new brake pads,
Rear diff gear oil is commonly ignored, look into doing that’ and suspension check all I can think of!

post a pic of your sc in Dubai!!! Can’t wait to see it!!!

Well, I changed the brake pads/shoes, tightened the handbrake and changed the brake fluid. It does brake better, a bit too quick for my liking but great for those pesky speed cameras hah!
I aim to keep this as stock as I can where possible as I honestly adore this car.

I've been told about the rear diff, I've changed the shocks back to OEM (when I bought it, it had Megans on it) but I feel its a slightly bumpy ride than something firm.
Rear diff oil and transmission fluid are on the top of my list for now.

Pictures AND videos to come soon! =)
