200k/km (124k/mile) Service – What is usually needed ?

[David]

Hi guys,

With a car hitting 200K km / 124K miles, generally, what would you automatically replace ?

I understand the Timing Belt is usually essential, though should you do pulleys, tensioners, pumps etc.. just to play is safe? Anything else in the car that’s a must ?
