Just noticing that you mention a gearbox oil change. Some thoughts:
Assuming that your car has an M47 'box (5-speed), then you need to use ATF, not EP80/90. This is quite important. I used Redline Racing ATF when I changed the gearbox oil on my car. It cost more than ordinary ATF, but the difference in gearchange was pronounced.
It may be worth over-filling the 'box if you can - too much will put the seals under pressure. I mention this as the rail for 5th gear is high up in the 'box and more oil simply helps lubricate that gear, that's all. How is this achieved? Jack the car up on the gearbox oil filler side and add an extra 50ML or so.
I also invested in magnetic filler and drain plugs (as I did for the engine) - always interesting to see the steel gunge that accumulates!
You mention rear light clusters - I have a reasonable second hand pair if interested. They are located in Teddington (SW London) so maybe not far from you? If so, PM me and we can sort something
Good luck with it all. Nick
