And now for those pics I promised: First-off, the bits...
Diff & gearbox oil:
OEM fuel filter (black thing in the middle), 3 OEM oil filters (for future use), Magnacore Leads (just in case the ones that came with either engine weren't in good nick), 4x BUR9EQ spark plugs:
An uber-magnetic sump-plug & a set of "The Black Hole" oil filter magnets for making sure any nasty metal filings stay well & truly out of the oil system.
The oil filter magnets in operation

A massive thanks to the following peeps (in no particular order) who came down to help out: I really really appreciate everything you all put in from the time & effort to come down & turn a few spanners, to random advice, to guidance, cooking, picking things up at the last minute, and everything else that made the whole weekend happen!

Also an extra special thanks to Colm for letting us take over his garage (& living-room!) for a lot longer than I think any of us had expected!
