Is there a front diff?

[dombat]

I'm changing the oil in the transfer box today.

While looking through old posts for it's capacity, some posts mentioned front diff. Where is the front diff or was the post wrong or.....am I being mental?

I will now go and bask in the surrey sunshine!

For anyone who should stumble across this post on a search in the future...make sure you can remove the filler plug BEFORE you tackle the drain plug!!!

One of the previous owners has used a threadlock/gasket material when putting the plugs back. I had to heat the drain/filler plugs with a heat gun (paint stripper variety not flames!) for about 5 mins and use a breaker bar about 3 feet long to get them out!
