Thought I would do this today and share,may help members if/when they do theirs:
1st,Took the Siggy to warm up the oil.
2nd,Jack up,support and remove n/s front wheel.
3rd,10mm allen key or socket allen key to undo the drain plug.Oil tray placed under diff.
4th,Remove filler plug on top of box,8mm allen key socket with extension.
Mines a petrol turbo,no need to remove battery cover,battery or battery tray,Diesel members will have to remove these for access to top filler.
5th,Let the oil drain out,left for a good 15mins,make a brew!.
6th,When oil stops dripping,clean area around drain plug.Clean drain plug and I applied thread sealer to threads to be safe.Tighten drain plug.
7th,Fill box slowly with Fully Synthetic 75w 90 oil.Filled with a total of 2.2 litres.
8th,Thread sealer again on top filler plug,fit and tighten.
9th,Fit wheel.Remove axle stand and jack.Tighten road wheel m22 nuts to 150nm.
10th,Take for a run,check for leaks,gear change a lot smoother,job done.
