I've been lucky enough to have had almost 3 years without having to do anything significant on the car but this year I have decided to finally sort out the underside as there is so much slack from a combination or worn bushes and I am expecting cv joints on the propshaft that are well past their prime after 200k miles.
She's up on 4 axle stands and I'll be doing the following to ger her ship-shape for the now very late MOT unfortunately work is meaning a distinct lack of time...
Renew diff mounts (done)
Renew gearbox mounts (done)
Attempt to source and change propshaft centre bearing (done)
New cv joints and covers on the propshaft (done)
Rebalance the prop prior to reinstallation (done)
change oil seals on the rear differential and fluid
New pad retainers and pins for the brembo monoblock to hope to stop annoying brake squeal and resonating disc hum once hot (done)
New rear drop links (done)
Brake fluid flush (done)
Goo flush for the steering
New voltage regulator for the alternator as seems not to be firing correctly under 2000rpm (done)
Likely another set of front top mounts
Boost hose refresh as some of the samco's have started to sweat oil (done - thanks Newsh!)
no doubt a load of stuff i shall uncover on the way!
rear calipers (done)
caliper carriers (done)
new stainless brake flexis rear (done)
rear pads (done)
rear discs (done)
new handbrake cables (sourced)
new sparkplugs (done)
rear drop links (done)
front drop links (done)
