Gearbox Oil

Hi All,

I know there is a guide to draining and replacing the gearbox oil, but is there a way to fill the oil without taking the whole front of the car to pieces?

Can I not simply reach the cap to refill from the top of the engine bay?

Thanks

Long piece of hose and a funnel from the top ;)

As Kris said mate. I found a meter of old hose pipe fit my funnel perfectly :D

Can get clear tubing exact size to fill up easily from B&Q

Excellent news! I thought having to remove the bumper, intercooler etc was a bit OTT.

Any tips on where the refill cap can be found...anyone point me towards a diagram or picture which illustrates it? (I know I am asking to be spoon fed now)

Right on the front of the gearbox, its a plastic cap believe it is yellow

think it should be white but it does look more yellow after 20 years.

Some are metal (like a large bolt) :)
