are you sure it isn't your filler nut or drain lug being loose?

if they are not an authorised monaro dealer (even though they sold it they may not actually be an approved dealer) they will not be permitted to do any warranty work.

From memory the south west dealerships are bristol (avoid) or Picador's southampton

they're st, not able to name them but put it this way, take your car there and you might as well place your willy in a meat grinder for the use it is.

why take it to yeovil? They are not even authorised to look at the car, as pathetic as it sounds it requires an authorised dealer to look at it and book it in.

IIRC The rear diff cover does not have a gasket per se, its uses silcon gasket.

When you have your rear tires changed, dont let the fitter stick a stand under the diff and lower the ramps to lift the back end. It'll make the diff leak again.
