Hi Steve, Steve and Bruce

I'll pop it into the garage, probably friday, or read the Haynes to see how hard it is to change the diff oil. I ave done it before on an 80, and it as quite easy.

I'm not goonna touch the ATF fluid change, as that needs scrupulous cleanliness, as well as knowing what you are doing.

The pink fluid I put in 2 days agi is still pink, I think the fluid in before was green?????

WHen I test drove it, there was ATF fluid on the dipstick, after 150 miles, there wasn't. But I've done 150 miles since topping up and it's fine.

I used Castrol D which Halfords says is the right one (being compatible with Dexron II standard).

I bought some from the VW dealer, but I need to check it is the right stuff, they weren't overly confident.

Steve
