NB 160,000km service

Can someone with an NB8A owners' manual confirm what the 160k service consists of? I have the Gregory's manual which suggests it is a fairly major one with all fluids to be changed but that seems to be a reprint of a US manual and I'm not sure if the Australian schedule is the same.

Backstory is that a few months back I bought an NB8A which was well kept but with no service records or owner's manual. Windscreen sticker suggests it was last serviced at 157k and I've no reason to think servicing has been neglected, but I also have no idea what's been done and when.

(I've tried Google...not much help unfortunately)

G'day. My manual states services up to 120k and then a note that states 'continue to follow the prescribed maintenance at the recommended intervals'. I assume that 160000 service would be the same as the 40000 service; engine oil and filter, air filter (fuel filter at 50000), brake fluid and balance/rotate. Inspect everything else and tighten bolts etc, that's about it.

sorry but its even easier than that- get an owners manual- essential for reference.
