may be being a bit dim bere but can`t see where to refill box not speedo drive surely???

Yup, speedo drive. Undo the 9mm headed bolt and pull the drive out.

Don't put too much in. I think it takes between 1.5 and 2 litres. I believe the spec is it should be a few mm up from the bottom of the speedo drive using it as kind of a dipstick. Be careful not to let the drive gear drop into the gearbox too.

It's about 2 litres. Drive gear won't drop into the box unless it's broken, I think....

the gearbox takes roughly 2.5 liitres from dry, but there is always some in there even when you drain it out, so 2 litres should be enough

Cheers guys. rolo.

Hold your nose as well - it stinks!
