u can tke a feed off of anything live such as a cig lighter hope thats ok

take off the filler plug at back of the diff the level should be to that hole

ie to much oil it will run out of the hole (i usually just out my finger in to seee if its far off)

Correct place to take a feed for the radio is from the accessories socket behind the glovebox.
Diff oil level is checked by filling it untill oil begins to flow back out of the filler hole.

It's not really necessary to check the diff oil dude unless it's leaky or covered in oil of course :cool:

You'll be lucky to find LSD oil (imperative it's LSD oil!!) round here, you'll have to go to your nearest Dealer, you'll need to take your own canister (2litres) and ask them to fill it up, should cost about Ԛ£35 8O
