BWchiptune can do you the service relatively cheaply if you want it done for you by a proper garage

£25 for the anti freeze and £16 for the Dot 4 brake fluid.
Power steering fluid wasn't specified by brand either, only the type.
CHF11S power steering fluid. £23
For the diff oil, Castrol Synchro X 75W-90 was used which I don't think exists under that name now. It would be a Castrol 75W-90 oil for non limited slip differentials. I think some people over in the US use 75W-140 but their cars run a lot hotter in their climate. It's up to you on that one really.
Cost on the diff oil was £26
Castrol Syntrans 75W Manual gearbox oil was used for my transmission for anyone else that may be interested. £36
All prices exclude VAT.
Maybe around the £450 mark for parts & labour with VAT.

Very helpful mate. I will source my own fluids I think!
Cheers

Valve cleaning will need to be done soon I think. But I just want to refresh these areas firt and see how she's running
Vacuum lines... Really necessary?
I may have my valve cover gasket done t the sme time as my oil filter gasket.
Thanks for the reminder
What is a Ron beck pcv mate?
Oil catch can is definitely not necessary for me I don't think. I know a few who have them and there is never any oil being caught
