Unable to get my 1L Halfords oil bottle high enough to empty it into the diff, I used a thoroughly cleaned Gunson brake bleed bottle pressurised from the adjacent tyre at reduced pressure. Worked a treat. :y

Sounds good!
+1 and something I'll bear in mind :y

Handy little things, even if many substances seem to knacker the seals prematurely....
...but then I've normally trodden on, dropped, or otherwise destroyed mine regularly anyway ;D

Almost cheap enough to be disposable too :y

I don't want to know how many I've bought over the years.
I suspect they've eloped with my screwdrivers, and are breeding some very strange tools ;D

When I changed my diff oil last week I use a £12 sealey syphon pump to empty the diff and then reversed the pump to pump the new oil from the bottle to the diff. worked perfectly.

I used similar to drain the diff, but found it easier to clean the brake bottle than the pump pipes. :y
Doing the TD estate today. :y

You can drill a drain hole in the diff if you want, remove the bottom cover plate bolt and using a 6mm drill, drill upwards to the back of the bolt hole on a slight angle into the diff housing.
You can put insulating tape to protect the threads of the bolt hole if you feel it helps but it`s not necessary, then you have a nice little drain hole which will save you syphoning the oil out when you want to change it.
It`s best to drain it after a good run too as the oil is quite thick.

Not if you need "right now" (ie, local shop), even blagging trade at the usual factors doesn't help greatly :(
I should be more organised ;D

Bought my last one in a little Halfords on a bank holiday saturday having been told by the bint in Eurocarparts that she had never heard of them so wasn't going to look it up 'as there was no point' >:( Almost as stupid as the rest of the people in there...
I was only there as it was the ONLY place in Southampton that had stock of Focus brake hoses, but I digress ::)
