Hi guys filled my gear oil last week and wanted to share with you how easy it was and how I did it. I have a 1.6 JX TD and read accounts of it being stiff to remove and needing to remove the gear selector to do the job.

yeah bit late not, you can email the seller though.

I may explore these later thanks guys

for now my rubber plug does the trick

Okay it fits

At first I did it up how I felt good, but it was still leaking a drip every couple minutes. I then returned with some pliers and tightened it up to the most I think is safe, no leak

still need to do the driving heat up test but so far looks good! not bad for 7 quid plus post!

haha I did wonder quite what you meant.

There is still a recess to get it in but I think it'll just go

so long as there is room inside for that rod that's all I wonder about.

personally I reckon the rubber will just squeeze in there. the 35mm metal plate (assuming it's that bit) will just foul the sump recess, but I think the rubber will block the hole before that happens.

Have ordered one, will see and report back.

will there be enough clearance inside?

guys what are your thoughts on this as a temporary fix?

by the way won't the swarf just end up in the oil filter? there is already metal floating around the sump from the threaded hole.

I also have a belly pan covering it all and no ramps to drive onto. Got a 500 mile round trip to make next week and am worried about the plug falling out on the way. bugger have spent so many hundreds on this vehicle this month!!!
