cheers for the reply im sure i read it somewhere before...... the reason i ask is because when i had it serviced im not sure if he knew that this was the case, how much oil would be left in there if it was only drained from the gearbox? Cheers

The box has a type of sump on it and a diff housing with oil, the second drain plug is just too aid the draining of the oils, if one is left then some old oil will remain.
