20 minute job to check the differential oil levels and top up as per normal Ford maintenance schedule.
While I'm here a look around for anything amiss but other than being dirty everything looks exactly as it did when I originally built it, no obvious wear or movement on anything.
Filler plug out which is magnetic and not looking to bad - no obvious buildup of metal here.
The oil level should be level with the bottom of the filler hole and a check with an allen key is showing I'm a little low - 2cm or so on this indication used about 250ml of gear oil to bring up to the right level. I lose oil slowly through the diff flange - a drip amounting to this top-up procedure every 12-18 months.
Dribble from the filler showing I'm full again.
Long 1m long grow-bag trays from the local garden centre are the perfect low profile drip trays under the car - the trick is to find ones without drainage holes!
Plug back in and all sealed up.
All set.
