Its not in a good spot!
Its just beside the gear lever linkage where it goes into the gearbox.

Think it does require the allen key... Again!
Follow the gear lever linkage from above the fuel tank to the gearbox, it goes into the right hand side of the gearbox as you look from the back. Just behind where it goes in you will find the filler plug.

yeah but before you crawl out.. make sure you can undo the filler before draining the oil... else you will have to turn the van upside down :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Exactly as Si say's AND clean out said Allen sockets thoroughly before you attempt to undo them, easy to clean ... easy to bu&&er up.
