Things to check when in the air

I've got a couple hours use of a friend of a friends lift on saturday. First time I've had to have a proper look at the underside and am wondering what I should be looking out for. Will be going around prodding her with a screwdriver to see what welding needs doing. She's got an underslung water tank which I haven't filled up yet so might fill it up and check that for any leaks etc. Anything else I can check while she's in the air? And where can I find the engine code to identify what engine she has, apparently she had a new one fitted about 6 years ago.
As always any advice gratefully appreciated

Brake hoses, fuel lines, coolant pipes.
Engine code is stamped next to the base of the oil breather tower thingy.

Ask someone pretty to hold your hand and be ready with tissues. Good luck fella.
