Fittted a hot start fix and it is great, took some time over it and soldered the connections and wrapped the cables etc. Had trouble with resetting the windows but a quick search on the forum solved that, thank you.
Front diff oil change, which looked really good and was up to level as I was worred about this as evidence of OS front half shaft oil seal having failed but my guess is it has been changed and the oil changed as well.
After literally sweating managed to get the oil plug undone on the gearbox: 2' tube on the end of the socket wrench. The only concern was the amount of fillings on the plug (comments welcome (may be)). Changed the oil for castrol smx-s and the gear change is now silky smooth.
Just the neutral select switch to change, found it but could not get a socket on it. Does anybody know the size of the nut? Does any body have one? I have no intention of dropping the gearbox to change it if needs must I will rig up a manual switch inside after her Jersey test.
Just the cooling to do, transfer box and back axle oil left to change and a scratch and two 50p sized pieces of corrosion on the lower panel of the door and wing to sort out and the drivers seat swab. And then the missus will take if of my hands........Oh well.
Oh and the NS rear air spring to do, bit worried about that one!
