Hi

Yup its near the intercooler

It has a LONG dipstick similar to car oil, you just pull it out, no cap involved

Sounds like it is gear box fluid then, what one do i need? can i get it from halfords?

Ta!

its the gearbox dipstick and thats where you fill it (small funnell and length of plastic tube) and make sure you get the correct oil

thanks for all your comments all, so what is the correct oil to get? just gearbox oil from halfords?

Thanks again

Take a look in the manual -

Oil Grade: API classification GL-5

Viscosity (for the UK) - I'd recommend either 85W or 75W/90

Yes you can get it from Halfords - from memory it is Dexron about a tenner a bottle.

Make sure the car is on a totally flat surface before you check the level - I checked mine on a slight hill and it showed the level to be low. £10 wasted on new oil only to find it had plenty in it already.....
