Differential Oil

Yesterday I finished crimping all the terminals on the Digidash cables. Did the crimping while watching two episodes of "Wheeler's Dealers". With this, I can now connect the Digidash to the loom and, after powering up the car, check some readings (namely if the car is in neutral or not).

Today went for an hour and a half on the car (from 23h00 to 00h30). Spent it all using a 5cl syringe to push 1 litre of oil inside the diff (see previous post, can't open the correct plug so pushing the oil through the breather hole). While doing this boring task, my head was occupied for a bit with calculations. 100cl... 5cl syringe... 200 "shots"... I now have blisters in two fingers. But job is done! No pictures, who would want to see this?

Next? Getting some gas and try to fire up the engine? Maybe...

    1. It was the 1st Episode of the 4th Season, where they have 6000GBP to buy and restore a 911. Then buy a 1974 Targa that has a knackered gearbox, spend 7040GBP fixing it all but sell it on for 8450GBP! Biggest profit so far.
      Watching the series in a row in the computer since on TV I can only get the 1st season (on Discovery Turbo).
