the grease nipple you are on about is in fact the axle breather, the filler plug is located at the front of the diff casing just behind where the prop fastens on to the flange

Early series axles had the oil filler only in the diff pan, but on Series IIIs the diff housing has an oil filler on it. Some SIIIs have oil fillers on the pan too, but some don't. It sounds like some muppet has put an early diff into a late axle case in the past. Unscrewing the axle breather and forcing the oil into the axle via that hole is probably the easiest thing to do.

Yeah.. great innit. I've only gotta look at it sat on me drive and it makes me smile. That said, once I get to grips with it the air's gonna turn blue every now and again I'm sure, but I would'nt be without it now I've got one.
