grahamgooner Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 My diff looks like it's leaking, probably due to the breather being blocked, but how do I get to the breather and the plug to check and re-fill?Cheers,Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj17 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Just pop it up on some axel stands and you should have enough room to slide under.The level/fill plug is then easy to get to. The pin is a case of feeling around on top the dif till you find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm thinking of sticking a can of StP in mine along with the oil.Anyone else done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamgooner Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Cool. So it's off to Halfrauds I go to get the stands and oil...Cheers,Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcap Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 You might want a swimming hat to protect your head from the dropping oil as you fill it up!!!I found best way was to remove the access panel inside the car and attach an extending piece of flexible pipe to the oil bottle!

99176 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 You should be able to do it on the ground. With the bonus of getting the correct level.It is easier with an extention hose attached to the bottle, and make sure you warm up the bottle first it makes it so much easier.

Tim Bancroft Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I always use an old plastic gear oil bottle with a tube attached- Don't be too far away as you will need to screw the plug in sharpish. I find a 7/16af spanner is best to undo the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Just use decent oil.If STP was any good the manufacturers would all include it in the oil (it may even be there already?)If you really must add it make sure it is EP rated, otherwise it will break down.Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
