Default Series 1 Servicing......whats worth doing ?

Hi Guys

While my S1 is off the road for the winter, i am stripping and painting underneath etc, but i will be having a full service done just before it goes back on the road, and would like to buy most of the parts myself in the meantime.

Basically the car is at 55k Genuine miles with FSH, so i will be having the Timing Belt done, Oil, Filter, Fuel Filter, and Plugs.

What other belts are there to change at this mileage ? And are the others worth changing or too much bother and not necessary at this mileage? Also can anyone suggest anything else i could have done ? Obviously i will be checking the brake pads etc. And possibly renewing the handbrake cable. Flushing out the coolant, and doing the brake fluid and fitting braided hoses.
Dizzy Cap and Rotor Arm

So basically i am planning on doing the following

Oil and Filter
Fuel Filter
Timing Belt (any other belts?)
Brake Pads
Handbrake Cable
Coolant
Brake Fluid
Dizzy Cap / Rotor Arm
Plugs

Anyone got anything else ?
