I just did a quick check of all the fluid levels under the bonnet. Am I correct in saying that the Manual Gearbox dipstick is to the left of the Intercooler. If so mine is running very low. Question is where do I fill up the gearbox, do I pour the fluid down the dipstick pipe or is there another place. Also what grade and viscosity of oil should I use.

Cheers

Ed

Make sure you check/replenish the g/box on level ground, I`ve found it to be quite sensitive in this respect. You fill through the dipstick tube, this is why it is a large diameter. To do it properly you need to get a length of tubing onto the oil container spout, using just the short piece on the container could result in a coat of oil on the outside of the g/box!
Oil is 75/90 to GL5 spec.
