Thank you for the advice. My car is a 1.8 so it has no slip diff.
I do however feel that I need to find a garage bay to rent near me, in order to make the maintenance easier.
Oh yes! I remember reading someone’s misfortune on here a while ago… I would defo check that filler plug first on the gearbox.
My personal worry today is that I reckon I have screwed the new oil filter on too tightly. I applied more force this time than I did last year, and there was no need to.
So I shall lift Nugget up tomorrow to correct this.
A busy morning in the garage, fitted a wheel, armrest, gear and handbrake boots and vents. Very happy with the results and well worth the wait.
Removing the vents and popping the airbag wasn’t easy, the rest of the task of swapping over was fairly trivial. The quality is insane, the Mazda leather is paper thin compared to the replacements.

I’ve done nothing impressive or challenging to my MX-5 today just washed and waxed her ready for winter and the MoT on Monday but I do like the result

Double checked the result of my oil change, loosened up the oil filter a bit (I had over tightened it despite my spaghetti arms), and took Nugget to do what he enjoys the most.
Looks good so far. If you are successful cleaning up the rocker cover satisfactorily I’d be interested in your formula since mine looks similar to yours.
Good luck
