Thanks David and trimani,
Bonnet pull mod. (done, although not in the above list)
Grease, Waxoyl, or paint brake pipes (Waxoyl planned for when we get some decent weather)
Replace locking wheel bolts, if you have them, with standard bolts.......before you get a puncture ! ! ! (good idea)
Consider Waxoyl on suspension parts to limit rust, particularly of springs. (Really good idea - didn't think of coating the springs)
I ordered a gallon of Waxoyl alongside a new high-lift trolley jack (Sealey 1025HL - very good for around £53 delivered) but the supplier delivered 5 litres of Hammerite black paint instead! So now waiting for it to be collected/replaced.
trimani - yes - I read your thread about the brakes and commented that I have previously fitted the genuine MGR disks/pads from Howards who advertise on ebay. The MGR items are really good and not very expensive. But yes - that's the sort of experience I'm sure you could have done without.
My local independent is very good. But for the clutch and the more specialised items, I'm intending to drive to tsauto in Stourbridge near Birmingham. Terry has an excellent reputation over on the other side and his quote for the clutch replacement can only be described as honest/reasonable.
Much appreciated
Maninder.
