There is essentially nothing of the Falkland's era still in use by British forces. Let's see: rifles, uniforms, destroyers, frigates, aircraft carriers, aircraft, helicopters, missile systems all replaced since then, mainly 21st century. Significant lessons - both in the UK and US - were taken from the frigates hit in the Falklands. Ship design, weapon fit, and uniform materials were changed as a result.
Only thing I can think of from the 80s, is some of the minesweepers, and those were commissioned after the Falklands.
