vtrdaz got it.
Its the gunk stuck to the magnetic drain plug off my rear diff (full pic attached).  A bit worrying as it's only been a year since the last service.
Now I'm doing it myself I'll make sure it's every 6 months or so . . .  :?

from the looks of that, I think I might be investing in a set of those magnetic plugs.

It is a Nikon Coolpix 4600 on macro mode.  Excellent little pont and shoot digital camera and easy enough for our 5 year old to work as well.

TBH I could've got a better picture with SWMBO's Minolta digital SLR, but I'm not allowed to use it that often, and certainly where oily gunk is present . . . .  :?

it's only been a year since the last service.

Just checked the service schedule, and apart from topping up of axle oil every other service, it should only be renewed every 96k miles  :shock:

Don't think I'll be following that regime.

At least you're safe in the knowledge that all the metal is stuck to the magnet and not floating around in the oil.  :D   Quite agree tho' change it more often.
