as above :cry:
went out yesterday and,to cut a long story short all of a sudden i could smell 'box oil...
pulled over and it was literally pouring out,as engine oil would when the sump plug's removed.
turned out to be the 5th gear cover on the n/s of the box was hanging off!
1 bolt was gone and the other 2 were attached by 1 or 2 threads!
anyway,a manifold stud made a temporary fix,as did a lucozade bottle to fill the box back up via the breather pipe.
is this a common problem?:confused:never ever had this cover off,well, until now obviously,
bit weary of driving aaall the way to Malllory now tho,
im going to take the cover off again this week and clean it up and seal it on and fix with new bolts so what oil should i use and how much?and am i ok to fill it from the breather pipe as this method is easy and clean
chears again folks
