Anyone know how much fluid the auto box holds? And does the diff take the same ATF as the auto box?

Cheers.

DON'T put ATF in your diff. I don't know off hand what goes in there but it'll be a hypoid SAE 80/90 .... ish

Perfect. Thank you  :y

Is it worth buying the pre-facelift Haynes manual, even though mine is a facelift model? Are the mechanicals and running gear pretty much the same?
