Beam swap was finished by about 12:30ish, we didn't even have to touch the brake circuit in the end (beam can be removed without removing the brake pipes after all!) So I didn't end up changing the rear flexi's, that's now a job for another day (will hopefully swap the longer one for a correct shorter length one before then)

Nice tip! Did you just unbolt/unclip all the brake lines from the old beam? Was there much clearance to get the beam off with them off?

If you take your time there is enough 'flex' in the pipes to carefully slide the beam one way then the other to go around them. You'll need to have 2 people and support the beam with two trolley jacks ideally. Not gonna lie, it did drop on my hand but I was lucky! And we didn't stretch any pipes in the process.

Just looking at your picture, of the new air filter, what have you bolted the throttle potentiometer to ?

At the moment it's bolted to the same location as the little clamp which supports the heater hose, right next to the engine cover clip stud. It's not ideal, I'm going to change it but at the time the cordless drill had died
