So in spite of being an IS Project Manager for a living, and even though I should know better, this project is suffering from a moderate case of scope creep.
I've decided to add doing the rod bearings to this project. With the front of the car apart anyway for the suspension refresh it makes sense to do the rod bearings at the same time. The car has done 145,000km, and I was definitely wanting to do the bearings this year anyway, so it makes sense to do them at the same time.
Doing that at the same time means that I'll have taken care of everything in Parts 1, 2 and 3 of this list with the exception of the cooling system and the fuel pump

It's going to be great to have all of the maintenance items up to date and to know that things like rod bearings are taken care of.
Place the final final order of parts today - up to 97 distinct part numbers. All OE with the exception of the koni shocks and some of the bushings (Lemfoerder).
Will do another update in a few days once we've made some more progress
