Why not give Spannerman a pm?Gets a good press on here and you get to do some of the work yourself so you know its been done.

It really is not hard to do. Did mine with no bother, used pointers off here.
If you want to, bring the kit over here and we can do the spring swap in my garage. I'm in north Wales |

Search function is a good start for that, I'm not sure what would be best in this weather
A rough guess would be stock weight oil or a grade heavier
