    First stupid question on the Series thread

    the grease nipple you are on about is in fact the axle breather, the filler plug is located at the front of the diff casing just behind where the prop fastens on to the flange

    Clear lights

    if you change the lenses you will have to fit orange coated bulbs, if you dont it will fail its mot, and you could also fall foul of the local traffic plod, years ago indicators were fitted clear lenses and bulbs, then the law changed and it was done for a road safety issue.
