hia welcome to the forum,

there is a maintenance guide on how to top up the gearbox level, i will have a look for you to see if i can find it.

you will find there are not many people on today as they are all by a few at the cambelt meet. so you might have to wait till sunday night for a defo answer. if i cant find the guide.

how much oil approx do you think you lost???

i wouldnt drive her ether just incase.

they beat me to it........ ;D ;D ;D

its relatively easy i did it last week end ...... make sure you have clothes you dont mind getting stained and dirty on as i still cant get the marks out mine from the ATF i split all over me. but then i was filling it from empty.

the other thing i would suggest is to place an axle stand underneath as well as your jack just incase, it will give you more space to move as well.

Nice thought, but the only comment I could make on that is that once you commit the "current" information to your pdf it is locked unless you undertake to maintain it. A far better solution would be to have a list of the relevant threads in a single place or list so that you have easy and listed access to the latest information. The beauty of a Forum is that it is self maintaining; a pdf isn't.

Remember to start the car before you undo the drain plug otherwise fluid will come pouring out (assuming you only lost 1/2 L and it was at the correct level previously).
