Diff doing an X308 impression...
My diff has decided that it wishes it was newer, so it's doing an impression of the later ones and pretending to have no drain plug. Seized solid!
I'll have a look at the X308 section shortly, but can anyone here give me a reason not to just suck the oil out of the fill plug (which does come out ok, thankfully!)?
Cheers

No reason!
I recently changed my diff oil and had to take the same approach. The drain plug was crazy tight and not so accessible, as it's recessed inside a hole in the crossmember, I just siphoned the old fluid out with a cheap pump, fit for purpose. I got pretty much all the old fluid out and refilled as normal.
I don't really think any remaining old fluid would make any difference and it's a big improvement either way.
