Just starting a new thread in the hope that quite a few will look at it :biggrin:

 

Ive got the plug out which was a ball ache to begin with as i managed to push myself along the tarmac drive without shifting the nut, but with a few tarmac burns on my arse its finally come loose and come out.

 

Ive sqeezed about 2/3 of a litre into it and im just wondering how to get the other third in, i was thinking of cutting some hosepipe (sorry dad) putting that in the diff and pouring it in the other end and blow into it.

 

Does this sound like im making it too hard work? I mean how much should i put in, its been leaking a little from the cooler pipe (i know this is bad, its being fixed after today).

 

How much should it take?

haha, just read that link in my other post again, it takes 1.8 litres, think i may just go and buy another bottle and put that in too. Then add what ive got left in both and squeeze as much as i can into it.

should get one of these. super little bit of kit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-Oil-Suction-Gun-Hand-Pump-Syringe-Gearbox-Diff-/130556210228?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1e65c1ac34

ffs, raced to halfords, raced back, squeezed the 2nd bottle in, after one tiny sqeeze...... its full, yay!!!

thanks Car Mad, might get one next time.

 

Well, i cant believe it, ive filled it up and its all gone smoothly, first time for everything. I still have 10 knuckles, lost part of my back but im sure it'll grow back and hey when working on these if you dont loose some blood from somewhere then uve done it wrong!

 

Watch out Vince, there will be another good looking zed at mfn and it'll be my first car show in 2.5 years were it actually looks half decent, pitty the sound system doesnt work but i'll be able to hear all the little knocks and bangs and get paranoid about what they are. Oh joy!

zulley, did changing the diff oil have any noticeble difference, on driving, or feel etc.

to be honest i havent driven it for so long i couldnt really tell.

 

It feels a lot different to a 1 litre IQ lol.
