diff oil

Dodgy Steve and Lilla came round for coffees and dinner, so we drained the diff and refilled it in the driveway. Someone still has my hand pump after the last Dodgy Day, so we had to squirt it from the bottle. This is next to impossible with the car as-is. The solution was to drop the muffler to gain line-of-sight access to the filler hole. Luckily the rusty exhaust nuts came off without a murmur.

Of course, theres only one thing you can do when the car has no muffler on it. Yup. BRMMM BRMMM! Sounds awesome. Almost as loud as Craig Healy's exhaust.

Diff oil used was Castrol SAF-XA. Full Synth. Still have the gearbox to do but that's a bit trickier and we were out of time.
