Some quality time in the cave today.
Polished and repainted the starter motor and refitted it with new gasket and screws.

Fitted new protective sheathing to the alternator wires and refitted the alternator and alloy cover, with new screws, new gasket and gasket sealant.
Stripped and cleaned the oil filter/strainer and camchain pedestal and refitted with new seal and gasket.
This completed the work I wanted to do under the engine so I then refitted the exhaust system. It's easy to mess up the downpipe sequence as in their infinite wisdom the factory numbered them 041, 042, 040 in that order left to right. As the pipes are angled to the head this causes sealing problems if assembled in the wrong sequence. Can be complicated, but I have it down to a fine art and it takes 2 minutes to install.
