Ultimately I finally managed to remove this pile of junk, and start the slightly easier process of fitting the new stuff on the car again.
Then tomorrow I just need to refit the new alternator and recon steering pump I fitted last Sunday and took off again yesterday....
Re-fitted the alternator, power steering pump + header tank, new idler pulley and then after the obligatory struggle, the auxiliary belt.

Refilled the power steering fluid and discovered the battery was flat..

Had a break to go and play a cricket match. Returned to jump start the rover and check fluid levels. Replace duff o/s headlight bulb before fitting the wheel arch liner.

A quick test rive up and down the bypass and all seemed well. All the whines and grumbles now appear to be gone
Up early tomorrow to do an engine and gearbox oil change, replace undertray and then a trip to Wales.
