in terms of re fitting it all back together, i can see the order the bolts go in and i have the torque setting but; the bottom bolt when i removed it i couldn't get a normal socket around it let alone a torque wrench, therefore, any advise on tightening up the lower bolt, and how accurate does the setting need to be, could i guess it with a spanner, id rather not remove the engine! thanks again.

From memory you start on the middle bolts and work out in sequence. I'm sure for the lower bolts where access is tight you can tighten with a 3/8 ratchet and socket. Key thing is not to overtighten, but follow torque settings to get watertight fit.
