Hi mate,

Would have thought it would be on your geerbox somewhere. Noramlly at the front near the filler plug.

Yes, that's what the manual says: on the top of the gearbox somewhere. But I spent a long time looking and could not find it - its very cramped under there!

Why do you want to know? There are much easier places to tap into the reversing electrics for example!

Hi
the way to fill the gearbox is through the speedo sensor ( which is on the back side of the gearbox from underneath the vehicle ) but there is a special tool for the correct level - it holds 2.7 litres & you must use the same specified oil namely TUTELA ZC 75 Synth API GL5, MIL L 2105 LEV

Attached pics - left side speedo sensor near the gearshift cables, the right is the reversing light which is on the front side of the box under all the intake pipes.
