I need to check / top up my Coopers auto transmission oil but there is no mention of how to in the manual, also I cant find a dip stick or top up point - anybody have any knowledge on this normally simple issue please ?

I asked the dealer about this and was told that there’s no dipstick for the auto box. They said it puts up a fault warning on the little screen at the bottom of the speedo if it gets low. Ours is a 2008 so may be different to yours.
