Diff oil level
« on: 13 October 2011, 19:30:02 »
Where is the bolt to fill the diff or check the oil level?

I've read the article on changing the oil but all I want to do is check mine first to see if it is dry or not.

Cheers all. :)

It's on the right hand side of the diff, 10mm allen key IIRC. Very obvious when you look at the diff from wheel side.  :y

What I mean is that the plug is very easy to spot but I can not be 100% sure if it was 8 or 10mm allen key  :y
