Everything is now in bits and I'm waiting impatiently for a box to arrive for FRF! That alternator is a pig to get out if you've not tried it, need to take top radiator hose off so now I need to find around a litre of coolant that I lost.

Anyway, whilst work is a bit slack, changed the oil and filter between conference calls :-) Drained just over 7 litres (according to my catch tray) out of the engine. Probably explains why it was whinging at me about high oil level when I first got it. Anyway 5.5l of nice new oil is now residing in the sump.
