You need LSD diff oil then, go to Partco or similar to purchase some, I used to use a Comma oil. From memory you darin all the oil, through the bottom plug, then top up from the side plug until it just overflows.

Hopefully someone will confirm this as my memory is fading fast!

BTW LSD Diff oil is very thin, so to put it into the diff I made a little funnel using an old Castrol gearbox oil bottle, just cut it about 1/4 way down, cleaned it and flushed it through, then you can support the cup part and insert the flexible tube into the diff hole. (If you have it on a bench then this will not apply!)
