It did take a while but they do come out ... |

New hose installed, car runs much smoother and responsive now (and less soot out the back as you'd expect), and no error codes appearing.
Thanks for the direction and ideas given. |

Sump removal
The sump pan is easy. Lots of 8mm bolts and disconnect the oil temp sensor. Assuming oil has already been drained.
Of interest, I seemed to have oil leaking through the oil temp sen ... |

A further note on this.
REMOVE THE FRONT DIFF
