Hah! Well I'll grab a sample from the one with the buggered element and have a look.
On the plus side, it's definitely working better than previously. It's only used when people are in the room (and the room has a fire extinguisher) so fingers crossed for no sudden surprises!
Do very much appreciate the input!

New bike, picked up from the shop on Friday. Lower headset bearing doesn't sit very flush with the fork crown, there's a c.5mm gap.
Shop says this is within tolerance and will decrease once headset is tightened, i'm sceptical.
Last pic is of the same model on the showroom floor, with no gap between fork/frame. Is this normal?
Note; 2nd pic just shows the fork crown. 3rd pic shows headset pushed down as far as possible.

Shop says this is within tolerance
Shop doesn't know what they're talking about. I'd worry in the first instance that they're trying to force a 36° bearing onto a 45° crown, which seems like a recipe for upcoming facial reconstruction surgery.
The lower bearing should be an easy slip fit all the way down until the chamfer inside the bearing seats on the crown chamfer. It's not supposed to touch the steerer shaft, both axial and radial registration are on the chamfer.

will decrease once headset is tightened
The only things which should move perceptibly when you preload the headset are the compression ring, upper bearing cover, stem, spacer stack and top cap. Everything below that should already be fully seated and the only movement will be imperceptible elastic compression of the balls and races.

What shop is telling you that bullshit?
-
What's the solution in this case?
They should give you the correct bearing.
-
Tolerance is on the crown race.
-
What's the solution in this case? A different lower bearing with a different angle?
If that's where the error lies, then yes. It needs checking with a goniometer. That might not be the issue, it could be that the fork crown is way out of tolerance. Having once been viciously attacked by whichever monkey tried to make it fit, it certainly needs close inspection for any damage.

haha! from my research (reading youtube comments) the narration was from a film that was made by one of the folks in the band, but never finished.
looks like there are some apps that can remove vocals from tracks - and sure someone that can work with Logic or ProTools and the like might be able to work some magic

Hadn't listened to this for years
Hadn't ever heard it, there never seemed to be any further need for monkeys in popular music once this dropped:

I beg to differ.

The fact that it says "anti-freezing liquid" rather than oil points to the possibility of glycol. Check the existing fluid now that you have voided your warranty and abandoned hopes of avoiding fiery death. If it dissolves in water, it's probably glycol, if it separates it's oil. If glycol, it will probably also have anti-corrosion additives, but you can ignore those for the purposes of a partial top up. Small quantities of pure ethylene glycol can easily be bought from any online chemical supply. Put your affairs in order, check that your home insurance covers reckless experimental chemistry, and good luck.
