by the look i just have to remove the gearbox to get to it,(and everything in its way)
so just looking for some quality advise please

Certainly sounds like it. If you are going to DIY, don't just change the RMS. Also replace the IMS post seal and the crankcase bolts above and below the RMS, and at the bottom of the casing. These can also leak, and it is standard procedure to do this. Read up on it, as it is best to put the engine on TDC and I believe it may be best to loosen the tensioners to take the tension of the chain when the IMS post is removed.

Richard, Having just been down this route as you know..... I'm sure I was told that the tensioners will need to be replaced as you have to 'dig' them out...... def needs to be in TDC. I stand corrected though.... Paul
