I drilled a hole in my D isco diff casing, tapped a thread, & bunged a bolt in.

I've just drilled and tapped an M12 hole where the filler should be, before fitting, of course!
The flange is there in the same place, but no filler hole.
Just use an M12 bolt & fibre washer and you've got your filler   :thumbs:

What makes you think it is a front diff ? As far as I know they are both the same, some early ones have a filler and some do not. Think very seriously about fitting 3.54 diffs I tried them and it was awful the driveability was ruined, constantly dropping to third gear and little or no noticeable economy change or speed at the top end. Mine is a 2.25 diesel petrol or TDI may pull taller diffs a lot better.

Thanks Divie,
 I'm running a 19j TD which will happily scream it's way to 50 then it gets unbearable. It will tone the ride down somewhat and save the already weak engine.
TD power until it blows!!!!!
