Hi Horses,
Ive got EP80 in my front and rear diffs, the recommended in the book of lies is EP90, but a lovely chap in an independant motor factors said that EP80 is slightly better and can improve MPG etc. Drain plug on the rear diff is on the drivers side just below and slightly towards the front of the axle. A 3/8 square plug, a ratchet handle goes straight in, front diff is just under a litre, rear is just over 2.

Engine / gearbox oil on the 2.0 A series petrol is 15/40.
