For gearbox oil u should put in some castrol sytrax, available from halfords or online from castrolclassiciols.com. The drain plug for the gearbox is on the underside (obviosly) in line with the two front drive shafts. U will need quite a big socket, i think it is a 19mm or something like that. Re filling is a bit more tricky as you have to put it in through the dip stick (the one on the gearbox, not on the engine!), will need a funnell and a foot long piece of pipe to get down to it. Oh and wear some gloves cos gearbox oil stinks!!
As for engine stuff Castrol RS 10W 60 seems to be quite good and is available from the same website. Do a search on oils and you will find a wealth of conflicting information, enjoy reading!!!
