1. Go here: http://www.commaoil.com/motorists

3. Press the tit and hey presto...

4. Go and buy what it tells you to buy where it tells you to buy it....

Next? :bow
 
all thats confused me:augie

is this what i need for the front axel? R180A 1.3 2-1/4 i no nothing about lsd it just hurts more when you mention that..
 
so is this corect R180A 1.3 2-1/4 for the front axel?

thanks larson
 
All you need is SAE 80W/90, API GL5 Gear oil (2.4ltrs) auto data says it should be 5.4ltrs, but I think this is incorrect.
 
thanks for the help chaps.. i bought 5 litres, hope its enough for the front:D
