....always the easy jobs that do your head in 
It has just taken me 2 hours to change the oil.
Got spanner rash freeing the seized sump plug and radiator rash getting the oil filter out. (Radiator rash: Unlike the traditional spanner rash that usually consists of one large flap of skin hanging off; radiator rash consists of about a dozen parallell cuts obtained from the radiator fins.)
No matter how careful you are you always lose half the contents of the old filter onto your engine pan and leave oil drops everywhere for a week.
Technical tip. Fit a Champion F107 filter rather than the stupid little Fiat one, it costs the same and is twice as long so you can get to it easier next time.
Anyway, did an oil flush and put in some ZX1. She now sounds sweet as a nut Just hope the neighbours don't notice the oil on their path
