Dear All

I have a leaking back axle on my SIII, I'm car savy and have an workshop manual and am happy to have a go.

Has anyone done this before and if so is it something that I can do myself?

Regards

Paul:

Do you mean the differential is losing oil? Very common, but if you're not leaking an alarming amount I would wait until you remove the unit for another reason, e.g. rear caliper rebuild before tackling this particular problem.

Paul,
