Takes 20 minutes to change the plugs on a 3.2... Did you stop for tea ???
20mins includes shifting all the LPG stuff out of the way, in order to allow coil packs to come out...

When I got to work I plugged in the code reader.  P0170 and P0173  Fuel Trim

I've erased them.
Erasing codes on the 3.2 will reset all the learned values back to default.  So now keep a daily eye on LTFT from both banks.

Cleaned the breathers. Changed oil and filter. Might go and give it a wash shortly, although I also fancy an afternoon nap = yes Im at that age now.  :(

Took it for an mot and it passed surprisingly. only advisories were on the tyres which I knew need changing sooner rather than later and an oil leak from the engine and cloudy headlamps and faded rear indicators despite my putting new bulbs in.

Saying goodbye to the F-Pace today, 27k of faultless and actually very enjoyable miles.
