Do you ever have straight forward problems Ash or is it always these funny ones?

You haven't mixed a normal mineral oil with a synthetic oil, have you, Ashley ?

Some older gearboxes, Top Loader's for example, don't like mixing the two. You get froth and such.

Thanks for your replys fella's.

No Sandy, the oil's not mixed.

Axle was filled to the plug level with the car on a four poster, beginning of last year.

Think i'm going to drain off what's left in the diff, and refill it with fresh oil, but leave it 1/2 a litre short of the plug level and see what happens
