Changing Differential Oil
I searched and searched for info and could only find that you needed a 24mm spanner/socket to change the oil in the diff.
In fact you need 1 x 24mm socket/spanner for the drain plug and a 23mm ring spanner for the fill plug, you can't get to the fill plug with a socket.
If it's a repost so be it, but I hadn't expected a 23mm plug for the filler.
The person who changed mine last time was surprised too and had destroyed the head of the plug using a 24mm spanner.
Did manage to get it out and fill the diff and have used it, have just received a new plug which will be fitted soon, it is indeed a definite 23mm.
