Gran Turismo 6 Playstation Updates

[nice sax]

Can anybody help a frustrated 81 year old pensioner. I have recently purchased a PLAYSTATION 3 SLIM and after finally getting it to accept my WI-FI I tried to play my GRAN TURISMO 6 racing game.

As soon as I opened the game a message appeared saying there were some "UPDATES AVAILABLE" which I decided to download. After many hours the up dates 1 to 16 were complete and the screen showed following screens

1. UPDATE PREPARATION IN PROGRESS
2.INSTALLING
3.AN ERROR OCCURRED DURING INSTALLATION
4.INSTALLATION FAILED

Now as soon as I try to play the game it takes me through these four messages.

What can I do to finalise the update procedure as at the present the game is UNPLAYABLE

Any help will be appreciated.

Looks like this is a fairly common problem, especially on the slim PS3 (I don't have GT6 myself so can't speak from personal experience).

The instructions in this link look lengthy/complicated at first sight, but I read through them and they sort of made sense):
