how do you change/top up gear box oil in a UK 98 Turbo

I refill using the dipstick tube and a funnel. A bit tricky to start but once the first litre or so has been poured it's smooth sailing. Or easier still you can purchase a oiling pump of which you transfer directly to the same tube, good investment not that pricey either.

mid section under tray off, big drain plug.

filling i use a piece of garden hose (fits into dip stick tube ) funnel on the end of the hose and nice and gently pour away.

rear diff is fun as well

now thats another point, how do i top up the rear diff??

tmo

if the bottom plug hasn't been out for a while it is good fun

basically a 18" long 1/2" drive swivel bar with uber amount of force. feels like you are going to snap the diff casing in half.

drain old oil out, to fill i use a little hand pump from draper (couple of quid, looks like a bellow with a pipe out of either side) because you don't have the clearence to tip a bottle of oil up high enough to actually get the stuff in !!!!

pump is also handy when changing power steering fluid for sucking out the old sh!te.

Make sure that you undo the top hole (fill ) first. You'll feel a bit of a spanner if you drain the fluid and then can't refill!
