Diff Oil

[GrahamR]

My car has a slight leak from the diff, so I thought it was about time I checked the oil level. To my surprise it took over half a litre I don't think there is any whine coming from it, so hopefully no damage has been done.

Hi Graham, while under there, did you check that the jiggle pin (yes really) is loose ? Martin.

I looked for it after reading previous posts but to no avail! I believe I should have found it at the top / rear/ drivers side of the diff? Although I could not see it i tried cleaning all round the diff with a small wire brush so I may have inadvertently done the job! (I'll see if I still have a slight leak or not).

Hi, it's worth the effort, if you take off the O/S rear wheel you can see it. Martin.
