Default When Doing Knock Sensor-XJR

I sadly have had a pair of promotions such that I don't have time to do much work on the baby anymore.

I am going to be paying a shop to fix the knock sensor that is going bad. I am looking at having them do both knock sensors since they will have the SC off. I intend to have them put fresh fluid in the SC at the same time.

Is there anything else I should be having them do at the same time?

One thing to note is I am kicking around getting an X150 XKR (though trying to talk myself into staying with this beauty for a pair more years and another 60k), so I'm not sure how much I want to invest. I am up to 115k on her and she is in nice shape, but is definitely not pristine (drivers seat wear, rock chips ect)

I am looking at a quote in the 1500$ range at this time.

Oh and I had gleaned do the coolant hoses underneath the SC when it is done and was going to have those replaced.

Good idea on replacing both knock sensors and both coolant hoses. Only thing else I'd highly recommend is the plastic coolant "T" by the throttle body as those are very common to go bad.
