Ask Tony to put you a spares pack together for the trip on a sale or return basis. Take them with you and if you don't need them, just let Tony have them back after wards. Richard and his team are usually very thorough in the workshop so you're in safe hands.
Have fun on the trip.

Good suggestions thanks guys!
Car drove faultlessly down here, gave it some beans too!!
Service has uncovered a few minor problems, they have been very thorough indeed, delighted with how far they have looked into things! Tony was prepped to prepare a travel kit for me, essentials are being bought for future anyway.
Doing...
Throttle cable/idle do dah missing a nut which caused s
tty idle - sorting
Exhaust side engine mount is kaput! - Upgraded one going in
Perished rubber fuel lines to/from pump on top on tank - being replaced
Gasket for oil tank return leaking - being removed and sealed
Ball joint play is bad missed at MOT yesterday - being replaced
90 degree rubber coolant hose soft - replacing with silicone
Brake pads seizing - clean up calipers (clearly not done at the 12k) and perhaps fit mintex pads
Fresh steering rack gaiters - if there's time to do them.
Keep an eye on...
Light misting of oil on other hose between tank and sump
Drivers side tail pipe rubber has small split - wait until I decide to go ACT or not.
Nose grounded - drive even faster!
Also have a set of federal 595-RSR tyres to go on next week, so will report back on how they perform tearing up the track at Monza.

Throttle linkage under air box wasn't right either (bodged together with non original parts and had lots of play) and was sticking at 3/4 open. Hopefully that means there's more beans available now!
Also a massive list of other things that were uncovered this afternoon
, not a chance in hell was a 12k service done before I bought it from that garage!
Huge thanks to the Hexham team for sorting it all out! Best service money I've ever spent!

Engine now pulls far smoother and faster to top end! Feels great! God knows how it didn't break down before.
