Does anyone in Melbourne have a spring compressor suitable for the front end of the 105 that I could borrow in the next couple of weeks? 

If not I'll get some threaded rods and lower the pan that way (method described here), but sounds like it'll be heaps easier with the right tool!

Email, PM, or 0400 013 175 - would be much appreciated!

If you're sitting on the edge of your seat, I couldn't get a factory tool, so I pulled one spring out tonight using the 'threaded rods' technique.  Painful, but it worked.  Photos here.
