Steve,
here we go again.
Sorry to read that yesterday was not a complete success.

Was somewhat upset when LOADS of oil came pissing out of the side of the block in the area of the tensioner....I made sure it was correctly tightened, cranked it over again and it lost LOADS more, so, any ideas what would be causing this??

Do you remember what I wrote you yesterday:
New alloy rings for the tensioner are a good idea.
It's a bit difficult to get the inner part of the tensioner right into the outer part because of the tension of the spring and the angle the tensioner has to be mounted.
I managed to bend the small alloy ring when I did it the first time. Everything was tightened but lots of oil spilled over the altenator.
So get new rings from the dealer, pull the tensioner and mount it again without bending the small ring.
bis denn,
Christian
