Mine was losing power for a while, thought it was just getting on a bit , but mechanic found a split in a pipe, fixed it, and the car was back to perfect.

Thanks for the reply.

The car is out with Mrs Sunnymane at the moment, but in my service booklet it states JCR, which I think is the gearbox code.

My car has done 60k miles, the gearchange was fine but because of the age of the car decided to get the transmission oil changed. 

The capacity is 1.9 litres, so got 2 litres from the dealers

 

At the garage the car was put up on the ramps, and the fluid drained through the drain hole, but only 0.7 litre came out, even with the filler hole open.

We were puzzled as to why such a small amount came out.

I followed the advice from this forum, and put in the same amount that drained out , 0.7 litres, through the reverse switch hole accessed under the air filter housing.

We were puzzled as to why such a small amount came out

The mechanic put a tiny bit more oil in , and it started to come out of the box via a pressure valve, so the box is nicely filled

The gearchange ( I think) is slightly smoother, even though it was fine to start with.

 

My question is, did we do this wrong, as only 0.7 litres came out, should have been  close to 1.9 litres ?

I agree all that Gyp says.
One thing I would check before you do consider changing the wheels, is the attitude of your insurance company. Though the size might be approved the fact that they are not a standard pattern might not go down well and may result in extra costs.

I doubt it
