Hi and well done for buying a Surf,
Oil change is dead easy with full lock on there is access under the wheel arch to the filter, but it is behind a splash cover, and the drain plug is one of the easiest to get at mainly due to the enormous ground clearance.
Air filter is also a piece of cake, just a couple of clips.
Fuel filter is a bit hazardous check out the threads on that one, seems there are problems bleeding air from fuel system!
I could go on but there is loads of info in the Tech section, have fun and await your head going...

Hi Craig,

It is easy to do a service as mentioned above.
You will find a wealth of info here.
I have sourced parts and Milners are definitely the cheapest.

You have'nt given any details of your Surf. I may have seen you around town.
