Gearbox oil? Help!

Hello

Not had much joy on the Tuscan section so I put it to the floor - how do you top up the gearbox oil on a tuscan, is it a main dealer job or is it easy for the DIY-er?

Did mine (Cerbie). It was a bit fiddly getting the rachet past the exhaust. Not sure what yours would look like.

The fun bit is then getting the oil into the hole. The tube you get on the oil bottles is quite silly. I bought a section of tube from Homebase, and warmed it up until it was very pliable. Screw that onto the top of the extension bit of bottle of oil. Very expensive stuff to get all over the garage floor.

Oh and be aware, there may be more oil in than is level with the filler hole. That way you get an eyeful of oil. Be prepared to screw it back in quickly.
