Basic Service - Skoda Favorit GLXie - RupSmit

I want to do a "basics" service on my Skoda Favorit (1995 GLXie), hopefully so it runs a bit better (is not too bad) and better fuel economy etc.

I'm planning to do:

(1) Oil and filter (hasn't been done for a year/10000miles)
(2) Spark plugs, Ignition leads, distributor cap and rotor arm (never done in three years I have had it but I can see sparks in dark garage on leads)
(3) Fuel filter and air filter (did air filter 18months ago, never done fuel)

Is there anything else should be done? Sorry for being a little ignorant perhaps ...

Central locking has also stopped working - would I be correct that this is probably a "control unit" - and does anyone know where that might be on this car?

Thanks if anyone can help...
