Sump, Steering, Oil
I had a brief respite from work and kitchen fitting today and made some progress on the Land Rover.
First, I fit the correct, fully-threaded, track rod ends I needed to bring the steering rod and drag link down to the correct proportions. This fixed the toe-out I had on the wheels. I'll get the tracking done optically when I take her for an MOT in the spring.
I also refit the oil pump with fresh locking tabs, fit the cleaned up sump with a new gasket (with RTV silicone), and put a new gasket behind the oil filter housing. Then I filled her up with fresh engine oil and changed the oil in both diffs.
The very next job is to start on the welding, so now I really need to finish that kitchen.. :)
