The day is over, I did what I could, feeling quite unsure whether I'm more happy or fed up really. Anyone got any ideas on the sump plug? I don't think I should try anything until I've got a new one though, and I'm not sure where I'd get one of them on a Sunday!

Don't give up on the oil change - get a vacuum pump - about £50 on the web. That's how I've been changing the oil on my '05 D5 XC70 since I bought her two years ago.

Works like a charm..
