Reckless Rat, rear diff drained, but will leave it overnight and start re-filling tomorrow.
Going to use an old oil can with a flexible spout and tip cut off to re-fill.
Managed (just !) to get my Boroscope inside the diff. Crown and pinion look in fairly good condition.
Being a new (to me) car, I am on a fairly steep learning curve but want to give it as good a check as I can
before taking it out onto the roads.
Found quite a bit that is not quite right, but fairly easy to sort. Main (and probably the most expensive) problem
is a dead dynamo which I am hoping to send off next week for inspection and repair. Not sure how long it will take
but hopefully about a month.
All electrics now working including conversion to LED. Interior stripped out, floor painted and carpets re-fitted.
Still trying to figure out the side screens but they do fit all but badly.
Still quite lot to do, but getting there slowly.
