johnpbransfield Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Just changing the diff oil and got most of the old stuff out hopefully. The diff needs to be level for refilling but it has that many ribs and fins on it is hard to measure . I presume that if the top of the petrol tank is level ( I have he boot floor out) so easy to check,then the diff will be level too? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

johnpbransfield Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hi JK....Sierra. I presume if I level the car up taking into account "rake" everything should be level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted February 27, 2023 Area Representative Share Posted February 27, 2023 John. It's not so critical. If car is reasonably level (not on a sloping floor and not got just one end jacked up) it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpbransfield Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Thanks all, refill tomorrow and see how much it takes....that should show me how much I didn't get out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 It's worth replacing the final drive level plug with one like this:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312779345179.....makes checking the level much easier with a ring spanner from underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
