Leave well alone Pete!
Well, at 60,000 miles there might be a case for renewing the timing belt if the tensioning/idler pulleys are noisy but you say that the engine sounds great so they're probably fine for at least another 15,000 miles. I certainly wouldn't touch the head gasket or the water pump or the clutch unless you have a reason to do so.
I would concentrate your efforts on a full service, the indicator tell-tale fault and for the steering take it for a four wheel alignment (check that the rear adjustment plate bolts aren't seized before you go).
Replacing parts because you
think they may fail some time in the future is usually a waste of time and money and can often result in discarding a very good part for a lower quality replacement.
Good luck.
