Ok so then I managed to find a couple of hours to spend on the car. Will be the last for a while as i'm away - somethow doubt the mrs will do anything for me whilst i'm away. ;D
Here we have some lovely Miles gear rods. Quite fiddly to fit wth a full engine bay - i now look a bit like a self harm victim on my left hand. Once on you have the fun and games of fitting the little locking pins. Some go in easily, others put up a fight. Glad I was lying on carpet under the car and not the floor as it's bitter outside FWIW side cutters are a quick and effective way of prising the old ones off.

I like those a lot, I have contemplated fitting a set to the HDi for a while but not had any need really.
On from there I made myself comfortable and fitted my rose jointed drop links. I had ummed and ahhed about fitting these before the MOT, but when i noticed that the metal droplink that was on the drivers side had a duff joint on it I didn't really have much of a choice but to go ahead. Very thorough instructions from Phil, and a lovely product.

Aside from my front brakes, beam/mounts/arb, decat and solid mounts I think i've now fitted everything. I want to get a 2.5" exhaust from Miles but I must wait til I know she's passed the test.
