First, remove plug, turn car upside down, shake vigorously, when empty fill with correct type of oil. Only joking, I'm assuming you don't have a drain plug. If so, the only way is with a syringe and a piece of tubing I'm afraid. Andy. >> Edited by Quinny on Saturday 18th December 22:26

The only access I can find is the small piece of tubing used as a vent on the top of the diff. This has a diameter of about 3mm. I can't believe anyone could use this hole as a means of access for several litres of fluid. Does anyone know what the dealers do, or do I need to contact the factory.

on the back of the diff to the right of the engine mounting there should be a hex bolt
