getting oil in the gearbox

[rt_blackpool]

as per the title really, is there a way of getting the oil into it without jacking it up?

i've got the battery and the air box off, but i still cant find the white plastic clip as per rich's instructions in this guide http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7730&highlight=gearbox+oil

anyone any pics or anything?

its ok, ive found the little green plug (bloody thing was black, but what else should have i expected :D )

just need me spinach to get it off with now

yeah and you only need to jack it up to get to the plug to DRAIN the oil not fill it up mate, if your only topping it up ignore the first bit of the instructions

yeah i noticed that part :)

but im still going to have to jack it up bc i cant get the plug to undo where it is, im gonan have to attack from bellow :(

get to it from above, just get a pair of grips on it to loosen it

or loosen it wiv a hammer and screwdriver.....being carfull not 2 crack the plug with the screwdriver ( use handle end on the plug and hit the metal end of screwdriver wiv hammer ) :wink:

i managed to do it thanks guys, when id got the plug off the oil poured out (i think the car was pointing very slightly down hill), so i dont think i need it topping up. :)
