Resurrection - or Back from the Dead

Hi Guys
Where you all bin? It was very lonely on the Forum over the weekend!
I moved to France almost 5 years ago, with a freshly 'C' serviced, newly tyred SE. It has languished in the hangar ever since, apart from a bi-annual extraction for a ritual run up & down the drive up to temperature, and a wash. (There really isn't a suitable smiley to put here!) Moderators - please note!
I've spent the last month or so, persuading the beastie that it is not in permenant retirement and, when replacement Master & Slave cylinders arrive and the back brakes are sorted, she will be ready for the road
There is still the small matter of Immatriculation to deal with, which will bring a load of problems 
The engine is running very sweetly - still on the half-tankful we arrived on! - but no movement yet, due to the afore-mentioned clutch problem. I have ordered a full set of belts & filters from SJ.
Should I replace ALL fluids As I said, all were new 5 years ago & have less than 800 miles. What do you advise? ( I have syphoned out the fuel & replaced it with fresh 'sans plomb 98)
