Me again

I am going away for 10 days so the Willy is going into the garage for the duration to be fettled.

Below is the list I am going to present to him. Can anyone think of any problematic jobs on there or anything I have missed? I used the car everyday so really could do without any unreliability (none so far - touch wood) and need it finished in time for my return.

Any suggestions welcome:

Full engine & gearbox service inc oil/filter change
Adjust handbrake – squeaks when on and getting into car
Reversing light works intermittently – think faulty switch on gearbox?
Squeaking noise from belts on tickover and when moving – alternator belt needs tightening?
Battery goes flat after a few days of non use (battery under 12 months old). Slight drain or linked to above?
Investigate power steering leak – possible to renew seals?
Passenger door doesn’t lock on central locking very often
Replace coolant header tank – supplied
Replace thermostat
Coolant flush and refill
Lubricate sunroof and clean out drains
“Lazy” passenger door window motor
Carry out MOT

Brakes & brake fluid all good?

Brakes are good not too sure about fluid, can't remeber if a flushed it through when I did discs and pads - good call.

Thanks
