take battery off for access first of all, then jack car up and undo plug underneath box (same size as one for sump), let it drainout fully then replace plug and tighten up, lower the car again so its on the flat, then looking down the engine bay, if you look on the front of the box bellhouseing you will see a white plastic cap, unscrew this (mine needed pliers to grip it) then get an old piece of piping small enough to go into the hole and attache other end to a funnel. fill up the box until oil is coming out of the hole, (about 3.2 litres) then replace plastic screw plug and hey presto one gearbox oil change done and ready to rive after re-fitting the battery

I think once you have topped it to the full, you should give it a little drive and then check the level again.

no need to mate, it doesnt go anywhere else excpet in the container you pour it

But surely it wont fill all the nooks and cranys until its gone through a few of the gears?
