oil, oil/fuel filters, leads, plugs (if they are gapped correctly), brake pads and whatnot are easy to do yourself, as are brake rotors if you're just chucking on new ones... try to get a hold of a workshop manual to make life easier..

brake pads are a 10 minute job if you know what you're doing - just make sure that you have a G clamp or something handy, as sometimes when the caliper is off the piston will move inwards and will require some gentle clamping to get it back inside teh caliper so you can put it back on..
