The drain plug is easy. It is the lowest of the ring of bolts at the back. The problem is the filler plug which is housed behind the mounting frame.

https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/gallery/albums/502/medium/2007_03170025.JPG

It requires a 29mm socket which is difficult as there is very little room. However, as the washer is plastic and not very tight, I managed to loosen it with an adjustable spanner. The mod is to weld a socket onto it for easier removal next time. It may be a bit easier to get at if the jack is directly under the diff itself as it is lifted slightly.

The oil should be warm when you drop it and some sort of syringe is helpful to get the new oil in.

Hopefully you know.

When you registered the auto reply would have had the link to the questionnaire. If you've deleted it drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send a Word doc onto you. https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f0rum/images/smilies/smile.png
