These are my notes - "cut & pasted" from various threads here - some repetitions I fear.
Brake pipes
Front + rear upper arms
Cambelts
Silicone hoses/big intercooler
Turbo actuator rod
Autobox filter
Clean in-tank pump gauze
Carefully inspect the wiring for damage, and repair if req
Check EGRs & turbo & turbo pipes
Check High Pressure Fuel Pump
Front & Rear Belts
Front & Rear Tensioners plus Bolts (In the Kit)
Two Idlers Pulleys Plus Bolts (In the Kit)
Oil Pump Casing
Oil Seal for Crankshaft
Crankshaft Bolt
New Auxiliary Belt
New Auxiliary Belt Tensioner
In addition to all belts (front & rear) replace both idler pulleys, bolts & tensioner & bolts.
Fit the latest design oil pump, front crankshaft oil seal, and crankshaft pulley bolt -
3 hours extra labour when doing all belts etc.
Consider replacing water pump - flush & replace coolant.
Consider changing intercooler hoses, particularly the 2 small ones for silicone.
Consider replacing and possibly upgrading intercooler. At very least clean intercooler & radiator.
If manual consider fitting new clutch (& flywheel) - 1 hours labour as opposed to 6 to 8 hours.
Replace rear brake lines
Check anti-roll bar bushes & shims - takes around 60 seconds with the body off.
Check cross-over pipe at rear of the engine
Wash chassis & underside of body, rub down and underseal any rust reapply Waxoil where necessary.
Remove the turbo, fit new modified actuator rod. Take out the studs and drill the threads out to 8mm. Use 2x M8 flange bolts to refit. This aids future turbo removal massively, and is also much quicker.
Check all suspension bushes & shims.
Ask for the old parts from the cam belt change, especially the rear tensioner pulley & check that they are using LR parts.
Engine injectors
Engine glow plugs
If a manual clean XY sensor
Suspension bushes, you can get carried away with. Most common are the rear uppers and front lowers. Body off makes no difference to front lowers, but the rear uppers are 5 mins a side, as opposed to 2 hours with the body in place. A A perfect excuse to upgrade to the RRS arms.

I was after an essential list really as I'm spending the family holiday money . I can't see how doing cam belts and oil pumps is significantly easier with the body off? Fair enough if they're due.
Rear AC pipes could be added to the list if applicable. Fluid changes - gearbox, TF box, diffs. Turbo rod and modification is a good one to do. Rustproofing treatment of the body and chassis. Otherwise, it's down to what needs doing/preventitive maintenance from the above list and checking things.

Like the idea of rustproofing, all fluids are good. What is the turbo mod, is that the actuator one?
Remove the turbo, fit new modified actuator rod. Take out the studs and drill the threads out to 8mm. Use 2x M8 flange bolts to refit. This aids future turbo removal massively, and is also much quicker.

Thanks lost for words. Spoke to mechanic, he's all over that. Bill is going up

Thanks for the advice to one and all .
In addition to the second crossover pipe in 2.5 years I went for preventative measures on...
rear belt
rear brake lines
intercooler hoses
some rust treatment
middle aircon pipe
a few minor suspension bits
rear aircon pipes looked good enough versus cost of replacement and turbo mods already done.
