Can't see it being too difficult at all. Sump plug is easy to see and is prob 17mm, i do oil changes on my bike, using a fabric strap belt type and either a socket set or ratchet spanner to twist it off and this is exposed to all the elements. I doubt your's has seen rain let alone road salt and grit !!
A bit like my gear box oil, by the time you have bought the oil and filter, you are not actually saving much money but it is the sense of achievment that you working towards..............
There appears to be a drain plug at the back at the bottom on the right hand side of the radiator as viewed from the front. I guess emtpy it and then fill it back up. The concern would always be air pockets when filling it back up but after having watched enough Wheelers Dealers it appears easy enough !!
What oil / coolant are you going to use ? Mine appears to have had Mobil 1 Motorsport 15w 50 the last few times. Coolant - i imagine that any modern coolant would be as good as any recommended in the handbook, the basic engine idea has hardly changed since the biturbo ! I don't want to get into an argument on oil, I would head over to the 3200 section if i wanted that.
Air filters are available from Opie Oils they sell UFi ones for about £15 a pair.
Plugs aren't hard but if the rocker covers are coming of to do belts you may aswell let them do that.
Gear box and rear diff oil is easy.
Grimaldi - clearly a bit of a drive for you charge £250 for belts
