Engine Oil/Filter Change
Gearbox/Diff Oil - Phil???
Undercar Braces
Undertray Replacement

Not a finite list by any means
Particularly interested in all the fluid changes (see elsewhere for the first problem I encountered on trying to top up the oil )

Have got an Opie Fuchs Oil Service Pack (the fully synthetic one) on the way if it helps, would also volunteer mine for a gearbox oil change if that helps and of course bring the oil, but would need pointing at any gaskets, o-rings etc. needed for the job (I don't know, that's why I'm keen to learn!)

Cracking location by the way - 100 miles from home but 10 minutes from the house I grew up in - probably played there when I was a nipper!

I don't know if I will make it on the day as it's a 300 mile round trip and I'm working the day before and after, any chance of you persuading someone to bring a video camera and lights so you can post bits on you tube? I'm sure it would be of great help to other members who can't make the day.

I shall bear that in mind Rich...I don't have one myself, but I'm sure if someone else who has one, and is attending, will bring it

Tim - High temperature urea grease is what you'll need for the clutch fork. Google it to find a supplier. I'll chuck you a few quid as I'd like to grease mine as well
