Option two is top it up with oil regularly.

I did the speedy sleeve thing twenty odd years ago. It wasn't that difficult.
The problem I have nowdays is finding a speedy sleeve.
Change the pinion seal. If it still leaks, keep the diff topped up until you can do a more permanent fix.
How bad is it leaking? It's amazing how little diff oil can make a big mess.

Looks to.be a growing issue. Will take picture shortly

We changed the seal, but the scoring on the pinion was so bad it started leaking within less than 50km, I guess only an inspection will reveal the need for more work than just the seal.

Remember there is a crush tube on the pinion. If you change the seal yourself, make sure that you also replace the crush tube and torque it up to spec.

Im not sure i've ever heard the term crush tube.
any suggestions where I might find one?

If you haven't got access to a replacement crush tube ensure that it is tightened to the same point it was undone from (mark the nut before undoing !). This has worked for me when necessary.

Finally got around to making a console for Brutus. It fits between the seats and houses the Codan HF, a double din Pioneer radio/stereo, 2 double heavy duty double power sockets, extra switches for things like LR fuel tank transfer pump, LED lights inside the tray canopy and a few extra for things to come. I made it from 2mm alum sheet and then folded it and covered in carpet.

That is really neat Brian - well done :)

I like the hat holders ....

I had fun driving in the wind and rain. Not a drop

Lots of wind and rain here too.
I need new door seals.

Also repainted andvrefitted bonnet acoutrements.

Refitted minimal lights.

Attached - image of the last 9mm fuse I found:
