Default A few questions:)

I own a 1990 ford sapphire cossie 4x4 and was planning on doing a full oil service on me car, what I mean by full oil service is engine oil, front/rear diff oils, transmisson oil
but being this is the first cossie I have owned am kinda stump as the front and rear diff don't have any drain bungs that I can see, had a read of workshop manual and found for the front diff you take the bottom plate off but couldn't see how to do the read diff, possibly missing a page or 2, any help on this would be great, also am thinking about taking the engine out for a cleanup + freshenup but have never ever taken an egine out of one these.
I was thinking about undoing all the sump bolts, undo the gearbox and lifting it straight off the sump/front diff, does this sound like a good idea?

again any help would be appreciated
cheers

The REAR diff just has a filler/level plug, make sure to use LSD oil in it.
Unless you know that it has been done change the FUEL FILTER, and then every two years.
Also do a fuel pump rewire followed by a fan rewire if you want it to last.

you have to remove the rear plate on the diff to drain the oil!if there is nothing wrong with your engine would leave well alone!!!!
