then take it for a decent run do at least 10 miles cruising 60-70 at temperature then check the oil and coolant (once the engine has cooled for a couple of hours). Then you'll know where you stand.

Thanks, I'll try and give it a go over the next few days and hopefully it's not as bad as I assumed. I must admit I'm doubtful though!
