I would certainly be keen to take you up on that if it wouldn't be too much hassle for you, and try to gain a little more insight from your pools of knowledge too.
I’ve ordered one of those boroscope cameras that connects to my phone.
Was looking underneath again today - any idea what this is/was? Looks like it’s melted.

The rear block core plugs will be inside the bell-housing, so check around the bottom...
Looks like you discovered the Anything goes thread. Deffo took a wrong turn there :). That should really be called the Take the p1ss thread but now you have the right section you should get sensible answers.
The 2010 is a bit newer than mine but...
Just spent the past 2.5hrs undoing and freeing up one front radius arm bolt, one more to go tomorrow.
Seriously thinking about taking up stamp collecting as a hobby instead!
Trying a different thread as less than helpful comments on the general thread....
Hi Everyone, we have an L322 2010, tdv8 with an odd battery drain, press the start button fires up then instantly cuts out.
Battery is good
Alternator is charging...
