Welcome to the forum. Search on google for a Workshop Manual to download - plenty of good Christmas reading in that! Any questions - just ask - we promise to be gentle with you.... :)

Thankfully the car is very solid and there seems to be minor rust for now but hope to try a range of products to prevent or just slow down the rusting process

If you search online, you may be able to pick up the factory workshop manual (by far the best one) in either hard copy or CD-ROM format.
