Nick as usual you astound everyone.
Many thanks!!
Al I need to do now is access the diff ( I guess all the sump guard etc has to come off)
Thanks

Silly question, but those oils for the D3 are from 2007 to 2010, are they the same spec for earlier models of D3 ?

Did mine today as well.
Front diff - need to remove the sump guard/undersheild but is easy to drain then. Also I found it easier to remove th near side wheel as its straightforward to fill in then from inside the wheel arch.
Rear Diff - again easy to drain, but to fill as its near to the exhaust you cant fill from the Castrol bottle. I broke out the trusty Machine Mart syringe to fill it.
