So...
Looks like i was slightly lucky then i normally would be!
The Exhaust manifold came off with quite relative easy, (and i removed it with the rad on JUST! lol) only had one stud give me some gyp, it moved slightly, so i got some WD40 on it, and on some others just for good measure etc.
So manifold off i then got on and took the sump off, and gave it a clean out, put the bolts in some panel wipe to soak/clean over night, i got to the point to ware i need to remove the pick/baffle plate and it got dark, so pack up for the night, I'll need to read on how to do the rest as i have never done this before! lol
Pics.

Taking this to work tomorrow, as a guy i work with is going to modify it so the system don't hang so low, it's due to the flange not being horizontal etc.

Now i take it i have to fully remove the pick up point pipe?
If so I'll need to replace a seal no/yes?

It's just two bolts with an o-ring. No need to replace the o ring if its ok.
-
Yeah i could feel, and just about see the bolt's as it's almost dark in the pic lol
Cool if it's just and O ring and i can get away with reusing then thats all the better, cheers dude.
-
I'd never reuse it to be honest, they are pence to replace and if its not right (most will be brittle unless its been fitted recently) you will have a major lack of oil pressure and have to take it all apart again.
-
why no just buy a bonded gasket for the price and the **** ache it save putting the other on lol
-
-
Get the sump baffle with the gaskets already bonded to it. I use it on mine and it makes life sooo much easier. Can't find the part no for it though.
-
I have found on ebay a rubber gasket that goes over the baffle, or you buy a new baffle with one on it already, there £30
