For tyres check out https://www.camskill.co.uk and search in suv/4x4 summer
I'm not keen on the current wheels on mine. Plus they're looking a little tired. And thanks, will check them out.

I've managed to pick up a second hand sump, just need to get it cleaned up and painted before fitting. As for wheels i'm still no closer to choosing a set

I was in one of those mindsets where if it needed to be done it was happening
Only took me a couple of hours on the driveway but most of that was spent wirebrushing all the bolts and soaking with plus gas. Thankfully nothing snapped and the diff came out without much hassle
