Right, I have taken the decision to complete all of the future servicing myself, given that I am going to keep the car and am a qualified technician still working in the trade, I have decided to make the saving.
One thing I can't seem to find clearly is the read diff oil spec. On astonmartinbits it seems to suggest the rear diff oil only needs changing on automatic cars, but this ant be right!
The process is simple enough I just want the right spec available in the UK easily.
Any help would be much appreciated

Have you consulted Opie oils???
They are very good and I been buying all my oils from them for years. Credit to you as a time serve mechanic for having a go yourself too. Nothing difficult really as you will already know.

So Opie oils came up great guns, in case anyone else is in the same place,they replied,
Although it's a manual, it needs an ATF fluid and the best options are the Red Line D4 or Fuchs ATF5005, although the others are fine as cheaper alternatives.
Your diff takes a 75w-140 LSD oil and the Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip, Gulf Gear LS, Red Line 75w-140 GL5, Fuchs Sintopoid LS, Motul Gear Competition and Millers CRX NT LS are good options.
The gearbox takes 4.2L and the diff needs 2.5L
