Default xr8 100,000k service

My AU XR8 is due for its 100,000km service. When I bought it, the owner's manual was not in the car, and the guy I bought it from said he purchased the car without it, so couldn't help. Basically, I need to know what I have to do in this service. I do have an auto repair manual but it doesn't specify give specifics. thank you

did my 100,000 service on my forte a couple of months ago (just did 110,000 service today) service includes:
*Brake fluid flush
*Coolant flush
*Replace fuel filter
*Replace oil filter
*Replace air filter
*Replace engine oil
*check condition of diff and transmission oils, replace if neccessary
*rotate tyres front to rear
*check operation of all lights and wipers, replace if neccessary
*replace spark plugs and leads if neccessary
*check condition of all moving components such as ball joints, wheel bearings, seals etc i.e. no excessive movement, leaks etc
*lubrication of door, boot and bonnet hinges and locks including check plates (use dry lube on check plates lithium grease on the rest) silicon spray or graphite powder in power window guides
and then just a general check over of everything to make sure everything is tight and clean....no leaks
hope this helps
