Not much progress today, spent most of it drinking beer, went for a dog walk and lazing around.
But, I torqued up the con-rod for the piston I fitted, and fitted the cover protection plate thingymabob that covers the bottom end, as well as the strainer:
I then had a look at the upper sump:
And cleaned it up a bit
Can't get any dealer parts at the moment, so I made do with some loctite grey sealant I had, which I'm sure will do the job (Grey is correct for sumps)
And after cleaning it up, placed a bead around the sump:
And refitted it to the car.
It actually took ages - it was really fiddly to get back on, it connects to the gearbox, and also a bracket on the OS driveshaft, which really got in the way when trying to maneuver it back on.
The lower sump is also back on, so, sumps, done
