Is diff oil clear?

[Chuffmeister]

I've found a few drops at the rear of the Chim on the garage floor... just when the weather picks-up!

[Chuffmeister]

Is that a good thing then... comparatively!

Okay, sounds stupid, but how do I check the level? Is there a plug that is accessible for checking the level?

From memory the top up plug is also the level indicator. Fill it until it runs out. Then you have the correct level.

Where should I be looking on the diff? I've had a search on google images. Is the filler plug the one arrowed? What size spanner do I need?

bks, back on the axle stands... I hate those bloody things.

I should have a new pionion seal arriving today from Racetech (very helpful chap there gave me some good advice). However, is it possible to get the diff out on axle stands? I was going to reseal the backplate and do the pinion seal, but not sure about doing it in situ or whether it is possible to do in situ.

Is the diff difficult to get out and back in?

Started new thread for the removal:
