We actually did - I can’t remember who I was talking to about it but we measured it and thought the diff had somehow shifted over 5mm - turned out the left one had shifted itself 10mm 🫣

I don’t think it has resolved the issue mate it just rectified the lack of pressure- sump is going to have to come off when we get home to check the pump

Volunteers were busy doing stuff so we had to navigate around them at times
