    I've just taken a load down to the tip.

    Won't be long before I have another lot coming out though.

    How big a sample do you need, Mark ?

    Search for "diff AND capacity" and "gearbox AND capacity" - you'll find the answers pretty quick

    3L of coolant should be enough to give you a rough 50/50 mix

    You want around 2.5L of GL4 oil for the box and 1.8L of GL5 oil for the diff
