I fill it just below the cross pins like I do with all my other cars. The oil came out before I had even run the car.

So I took the plate off of the diff and used engineers blue to see how flat the surface was and I found that it was not flat. Hard to do with the locators that are moulded into the plastic bit I used a very flat steel rule across the rest of the flat face. I had not tested the part prior to building the diff but have read that if you over tighten the screws on the diff then if will deform the plastic plate.

As my plate is deformed and not perfectly flat then putting in less oil is not going to help if the seal is still no good.

Anyway I have the aluminium one now and tested the flatness using the same engineers blue and everything is fine now.
