I'm finding that the dealer hasn't attended to other things on the car as agreed and I'm wondering how I can check whether the oil and filter really has been changed.
One thought I had - have a look at the condition of the oil filter - if it's shiny and new then maybe it's been done. Not definitive I know but short of an oil analysis I don't see anything further I can do.
Question - how do I get to the oil filter? From above? From below?
Thanks in advance.

Below. If I remember correctly, this is an element filter, not cannister.
Hence, if I am right, you will not be able to tell if the filter was changed.
The oil on the dipstick should be sparkly clean if just changed.
Good luck.
Sorry, you don't have a dipstick, so cancel my last statement.
In short, you can't tell short of draining the oil to check.
