MG TD TF 1500 - A reall easy way of lubing the steering rack

I might not be the first one to do this:

Bought a cheap 60 ml disposable syringe at the local pharmacy. Filled it with gear oil, removed oil nipple in rack and pressed the conical plastic tip of the syringe into the hole. Oil delivered into rack with no spill or mess. (Probably the hypoid oil will make the rubber seal on the syringe piston swell after a while, so i need a new one next time I plan to replenish the steering rack.)

I loosen the fastener sometines having to replace the plastic strips. But I have a syringe with an rectal tube on it and fill the buld with the oil and stick tube into the rubber at the small hole and force the oil in. Works This is on the rubber bellow fastening to the arm to tyrod Both sides does it
