How do you check the rear diff oil level?
#1
Probably a stupid question but how do you check the rear diff oil level and fill it up if needed? Do you remove one of the nuts and see if the oil comes out??

When you look at the diff end plate there should be four round the outside holding the plate on and two bigger ones towards the centre. The top one's the filler hole, ie fill 'til the oil dribbles out. The book says API class GL-5 SAE 85W for this country.

NO !!
The bottom nut is drain only.
Drain, refit the lower nut, then refill through the upper hole until the oil just starts to run out of the upper hole.
