Europe is a terrible place for GA. I'm glad AOPA was able to stop user fees in the US. When I lived in the UK, most airplane owners kept N numbers on the tail, so that they wouldn't fall victum of a socialist system during the annual inspection. And $60K for an Aztec inspection is just insane! Down under (Austraila) isn't any better. It is cheaper for airplane owners to fly an American A&P/IA down there to do the inspections, or any other work -- and get it done faster too.
StackJ, about the fuel valve, were you able to rebuild it with new parts? If so, where did you get parts from? Specially, I'd like to know where you got a seal that fits between the two halfs. The parts manual doesn't even list that seal as something Cessna makes. So, is it possible to make your own seals for a fuel valve?
