Nothing coming out of the exhaust I'm happy to report.
I've taken out the oil and replaced it with the correct amount of oil.
Seems to run fine but I'll have to wait until thursday to give it a proper test.

Stuart,
Yes it looks like that is the case.
I'll be taking it for another test run soon. I'll have my Cell phone and the number to CAA on speed dial with me too
