G/box: 850 Manual: - Changing Oil

peter9000uk · Jan 2nd, 2008, 09:06

Caught up on a few of those round to it jobs yesterday on the old girl and one job I didn't do was change the gearbox oil

Reason
Couldn't see any obvious drain plug or plug to refill!

Any of you lovely people help with location of the above please!

One really annoying thing was having to buy 3 litres of oil when only using 2.1!

Ta in advance

there are two huge bolts on the passenger side of the box the top hole is to fill the bottom to drain i'll take a pic for you this afternoon it is fiddly with the engine in the car regards your c/l problem it could be an issue with the alarm relay under the steering coloum it's a big black one with a green plug that goes in the top of it for the break glass sensor

Thanks for that Stu, piccy would be handy.

Next question.... anyone got a spare good c/l relay?

Heres the pic for you

Cheers for that Stu. Looks as though the best way to access is by removing the nearside wheel then! I would imagine the fill hole will be a right bugger to access from the top due to the ABS pump.
