Yes, It's a mare to take all the bits off so as a matter of course I replaced the flywheel as well, some say it's necessary but others don't but at 200 quid it's worth it while in bits.

I also replaced the leaking rear diff seal (they're bad for those), diff oil, drop links, centre prop bearing and rear main seal on the engine/sump. The exhaust is in one piece (if it has't been modified) and is extremely heavy (2 person job) so basically anything that invloves its removal should be taken advantage of, you don't want to be whipping that bad boy off at all, let alone when you've had the chance to replace something earlier and not done it.

Epic car though!
