As per above, I used Gulf Competition on gearbox/diff after recommendations on here & from Opie Oils.
And I've just put Fuchs Titan GT1 Pro C3 XTL in at last oil change, previously used Castrol Edge with no complaints either.

I have switched to Motul 3000v 5w40 I will be getting it sent away to get tested once I have done a few miles on it, I have noticed it does not get as hot where the oil would be 105 on the same drive it tends to hover around the 100 mark
