Default First vtr

Hello ppl
I've just accquired a vtr on a 03 plate 104k on the clock, in pretty reasonable condition tbh, anything in particular to check on her ? i plan on doing a cam belt change as it's unclear when last changed, front nearside wheel bearing needs doing, are their any jobs best left for a garage ? bearing in mind i carried out a successful valve replacement and head gasket change on my old mgzs.

not interested in making it go any faster but are there any cheap simple, diy mods or upgrades

Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated

You can upgrade your brakes if it bothers you a fair bit. Dampner upgrade and lower strut brace to tighten up the front end.
