You might battle to loosen the nut holding the dipstick tube to the sump. On mine I had to use a blowtorch and a long extension. Have the car up on ramps at the very least so you can get some leverage. Also you might have a chassis member in the way of the sump. You will have to move this out the way (but don't take it out completely unless you have the right tools, because it is under compression). If you have a non-standard exhaust you might have to remove that too. Sounds like a good tip with the vaseline. That gasket is a pain, it does not want to co-operate.
