With the crazy costs of new cars now, and my mileage being low, it's well worth fixing. Apart from needing to change the diff oil and the issue with the spark plugs, the list was as follows.
Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material offside front.
Same offside rear
Same nearside rear
Rear brake pads wearing thin
Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge Nearside Rear.
Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge Offside Rear.
Coil spring corroded Rear
Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened Front.
Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened Rear
Central Rear shock absorber corroded
Oil leak, but not excessive
Power steering ram has slight seepage from a joint
Rear suspension arms mounting brackets corroded.

I've now got all the rear shocks that Tim kindly organised, so they're ready when the process gets started. New heated front windscreen is ready to fit thanks to Rick. Just have to decide how to proceed in 2022.
