Would understand more of what you wrote if you tried plain good old fashioned English instead of text speak making it difficult for others to read >:(

Car sounds like it needs the codes reading might be worth updating your profile with your location maybe a local member can help :y

Hi Abdul.

The first thing to check is the oil level in the gearbox. There is not a dipstick for checking. Instead you remove a plug half way up the gearbox (right hand side looking forwards) .

Forum members recommend changing the gearbox oil and cleaning out or replacing the oil filter  at say 100,000km depending on how hard the car has been driven.

there is a maintenance guides on how to do this job in the maintenance guide section. Here is the link http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152783586
