Would really love to know what's not a failure on that list?

Clutch Flexi Pipe needs replacing (Not a safety issue so not a failure)
Front crank shaft oil seal leaking (only a failure if very very sever should be an advisory maximum)
Both front prop shaft UJ's worn (not a failure or even an advisory)
Rear prop shaft rear UJ worn (not a failure or even an advisory)
Front Springs Seized up (not a failure or even an advisory) ps: oil and speedbumps can fix this without stripping them
Steering ball seals leaking (not excessive) (If not excessive its an advisory not a failure)
O/S rear drive flange leaking (advisory unless its very bad)
N/S head lamp fixing screw missing (only a failure if insecure)

Thanks Scrappy that's great, it sounds like I can get an MOT soon and then get the rest of the stuff done, it s so much easier when you can drive it around to get bits and bobs done

In the list I put, I would replace the clutch flexi hose as its less than 20 pounds and will stop you being stranded somewhere if it breaks. Mine broke over 100 miles from home but i was able to limp home with it but it was no fun 
And just grease the propshaft nipples. In 15 years of driving series ive never broken a propshaft on one.
Best of luck with it

Its just a pain to remove everything to get to them. Fitting the seal isnt that hard just remove the old one and tap the new one in with a large socket the same size as the seal, as this makes it go in straight and true.
removing the crank pully is a pain as usually the bolt is a right pain to undo, but you can use the starter to crank the engine over with a socket and bar on to undo the bolt.
Then use a puller to pull the pully off.

Is a puller a purchasable item?

I think I used the big one on this set: Clarke CHT270 3-Pce Gear Puller Set - Machine Mart
I just put the landy in gear and used a big adjustable spanner on the pulley dog-nut and ****ted it with a big hammer.
When you're removing / refitting the pulley there is a half moon tab that sits in a recess on the shaft. Make sure you've got the pulley at TDC before removing it or the tab will fall into the sump! When refitting I knocked a couple of burrs into the back of the tab so that it would sit still in the recess after losing the bugger a couple of times! why they couldn't have done this at the factory I don't know...

This is sounding more like the kind of job I might want to part with beer tokens to get done/ be taught

Its not that difficult, just a bit fiddly. If you're not confident probably a good one to get someone to look over your shoulder to get your eye in....or ask plenty of questions on here!
