Gearbox oil check

Post by Ant-t »

Just been reading through the wiki and I want to check my gearbox oil level. I've had a look under my van but I can't find the filler bolt on the box, can anyone point me in the right direction to where I can find it?

I thought it was 17mm - hopefully someone else can confirm or deny.

Dont forget! remove FILL plug - BEFORE - DRAIN PLUG!
the usual good advice from the wiki -

+ image/photo of drain plug and fill plug at end of article above -
