Top tip for changing the diff oil...  Always undo the top plug first.

 

Why?  Well if you undo the bottom one first all the oil will come out.  If you the find the top one is rusted solid and wont move you are left with an empty diff and no way of putting fresh oil in.

 

Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people fall over on this one!

No worries mate. Might send it in the post with some nude pictures instead with me sniffing underwear ;)

 

Nice tip that mate I've not seen that one. See I'm still learning too ;)
