I.ve got some time of work so going to have a go at SERVICING my Sportrak its an M reg 1.6 EXi. Could someone tell me what I will need Like a good oil type, oil filter, air filter,spark plugs and anything else that might help me out. This will be the first time I,ve ever atempted any mechanical work ever besides changing the window wipers.

Hi,If your going to service your sporty there's no real problems its all straight forward but I would recommend that you buy a service manual CD and spend some time reading it or the manual book as for parts milner off road supplys all parts there site is listed on this web page they will supply you with a catalogue.
Failing that Halfords or a motor factors will have or will get the parts prices do vary for example I use GTX high mileage oil but you can buy a lot dearer one depends on your pocket, but dont put realy cheap oil in or it will cost you in the long run.Its hard to recommended what your need it all depends on how big a service you are going to do like do the belts need changing when was the cam belt change last what about brakes, steering, I could go on and on.
But dont be put off by this as I said read the manual and do it in stages I'm sure you'll be ok.
