Thank, that's a very kind offer Oldseadog.
I'm going to press on with this a bit more before taking you up on that. I would prefer to save you up for the more challenging jobs ahead!
With work commitments etc, I will just be able to grab a little time here and there until the weekend anyway.

I can't be arsed to read through all the pages, so assuming you've still not got any further, why don't you just unbolt the entire filter housing from the block (2 bolts?) and then stick the canister in a vice and tap the housing around with a nylon hammer to split the two?

A mobile mechanic who was working in the area helped me out. He was able to shift the filter with a hefy pair of stillsons (looked like two inch jaws) for a few quid. There was no oil or grease around the seal at all and it was on very tight. As long as the Landy is in my ownership, I should never encouter this problem again as it will be properly oiled when I put it back on and hand tight only. Thanks for all the suggestions, there's some good tips in here.
