Depends on what was done on the last sevice . If you dont know , i would do the usual , oil and filter , plugs , fuel filter, coolant etc . Also do you know if the chains have been done ?. Break pads and disks worth checking , ignition leads may need looking at as well .

You've got to remember that a "full" service that dealers/garages will charge you an absolute fortune for, are mostly made up of "inspecting", which is where they like to make even more money from you! Have a look at previous sevice history to see whats been done, but as a matter of course, its worth changing fuel filter, plugs and leads. (in addition to oil and all filters). You mentioned the coolant was changed recently so that should be ok. PAS and Brake fluid are probably well worth changing too, as these are the most likely to have been ignored previously. Fuel filter and leads may not need doing right now, but if they are the originals (or even just very old) they can give you grief at a minutes notice! Its just preventative maintenance. If your chains are starting to rattle a bit louder than you think they should, thats the time to start saving for them to be changed! Other than that, its just simple greasing routines and as mentioned, inspection of other components. Everything regarding servicing and what should be carried out at the correct intervals can be found in the wiki section iirc, or should be in your handbook
