Hello all, new rover owner here.

I just picked up this decently clean 2006, and I wanted to check the differential fluids before a trip this weekend. First let me start off by saying I am mechanically inclined, but that doesn’t mean I’m perfect, or familiar with something new.

On the rear diff, to the driver side of the pinion there is a long “nut” that is spring loaded.

I mistook this for the differential fill plug.
And after filming I got a “transmission fault, traction reduced” error.

Could it be the fact that I most likely over filled it, or is it because I removed that spring loaded pin/nut assembly?

Thank you.
