Then I removed the filter screen cover with the 13mm socket - the engineers scribe was handy to pop it off.
The photo below shows the cover on.... just behind the drain plug.
The filterscreen came out with the gasket in place

Pictures help me a lot, so I thought I would throw this up in case it helps anyone else.
To do the job I got together the following tools – it was of course a journey of discovery.
• 20 mm socket – for the oil drain plug
• 13mm socket – for the filter screen cover
• A socket bar for the above
• An oil filter wrench from Supercheap
• Rachet to suit the oil wrench
• An engineers scribe – cause I know engineers are smart and do important stuff to cars
• A tension wrench for tightening everything back up
• Oil drain pan
• A toothbrush – a guy doesn’t want to be accused of having breath
bad enough to sink a prawn trawler !, apart from that it is very handy for cleaning the filterscreen.
I have also purchased a filter, gasket and compression washer from a vw supplier
Then with all the stuff I parked the kombi on the hottest concrete slab I could find and considered finding a more shaded/cooler location.
Looking up under the motor I located the drain plug and undid that, draining the oil into the pan.
All care was taken but of course I dropped the plug into the pan.....
