Finally, my motor arrived safe and sound on Thursday. Pam took some pics but, as yet, has failed to post any...
The agents in Sydney had turned the isolators off on all 3 vehicles and all 3 (even the Ibex) managed to start and drive out although the Ibex and the Range Rover had flat tyres.
Blowing up the tyres on the other 2 vehicles was the last straw for my ARB compressor and it finally gave up the ghost, will need to replace it or fix it with bits from the one I drowned.
First stop was Maddisons to check the oil pressure gauge against a mechanical tester - bad news is that it is indeed running low on pressure but, by the way it's behaving it looks like the bypass valve may be sticking, need to change the oil filter and, if that doesn't fix it, take the sump off and have poke at the valve.
I've put a couple of videos from the OBC on youtube... they were supplied by one of the spectators. They should both be available in high quality format, look for the link underneath the video.
