Interesting about the other 3 oil replacement locations, I'll have a look and see if I can find how-to's for them.

I'm not a million miles from you but I've booked mine into Horton Cars, Aylesbury. About a 2.5 hour drive from me and a days holiday booked

So wondering what to tackle next - thinking Haldex/diff/angle gear fluids and maybe gearbox flush too?

Question is how many individual fluid changes are needed on the AWD system Heavy Equipment Repairs in Margate? Am I right in thinking that there are 4 separate fluid reservoirs and hence jobs to tackle here specifically for...

1. angle gear
2. differential
3. Haldex
4. gearbox

and in which order would you guys recommend I prioritise these?

Thanks in anticipation.

Just got a MK3, 70k miles in pretty good condition. Are there any things I should look at doing to make sure it survives? Have seen retorque/ replace HG, but is there anything else I'm missing?

Head gasket?? NO way leave it be... you don't need to make work for yourself.
change all the oils first and don't forget the oil filter in the Haldex clutch unit on the back end of the propshaft.👍
