am guessing you have to change oils on both front and rear diffs right? or do they have linked oil lines. how could i see the top bolt that you have to undo. cheers

The rear diff and gearbox are seperate units . There are 2 plugs on the rear of the diff you can see as you poke your head under the rear of the car. Take the top one out first (the filler plug) just to make sure it comes out, then undo the lower one to drain. If you don't have an oil drain plug spanner then a 1/2" ratchet will fit.
The drain for the gearbox is under the gearbox. Undo it to drain. To refill get a funnel and a bit of hose to fit in the dipstick hole which is located next to the turbo.
