I would change it. Any DIII ATF should do, although I like Fuch Titan 4000. It should be the same as any other DIII, but I reckon it feels better than, for example, the Coma stuff. Of course, might be the placebo effect.

I used Coma for my ATF change ..........  ::) ::) ::)
So I see from the pic ;D

The Silver Bullet has Coma in currently, due to all the problems I had arond Newent last year.  I don't dislike it enough to change it, but given a choice, I'd use the Titan 4000. Not that much difference in price, either. Esp as Halfrods trade price on the Coma isn't that good ::)

I suppose I should try to blag a HAlford TC card  :-\ :-\ :y
The Coma ATF was from a local motorfactors.

What's a handbrake?  ::) ::) ::)

Axle stands are the larger stands from Machine Mart, they good, but a bit too big for most Omega jobs  :-\ :y

thanks chaps.... going to purchase this today. is this going to do the job...

http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/garden-woodcare-paint/cuprinol-fence-sprayer/invt/0236346/?htxt=vrRcIySO1tgSIS8aP3lSBSJij8gStjrzH2lO6bKB9GflzXbqc0mh7%2FL5DoTZYl0hrc%2BygtMoJWLC%0AeCPeLB9vgw%3D%3D

While I think that the sprayer idea is good, I just used a piece of tubing that was a nice 'screw fit' into the fill/level hole & threaded it up through the engine bay with a funnel at the other end of the tube. You just can't be at both ends of the tube at the same time.  ;D ;D

thats a good idea. thing im a bit worried about is getting air in there. but i suppose you feed the fluid through first, have a small bit coming out before you attach it? like with a needle injection?  :-\

i think, like you andy, i'd prefer to do it manually. wish it had a filler tube  :'(
