A boggo 1.6 ford focus i have changed the clutch and the gearbox has been sick and i want to know what level to refill the gearbox to and i'm too tight to buy a haynes manual.

Also anyone know what oil should go in the gearbox and what power steering fluid to use as i took the easy option of removing engine and gearbox instead of trying to split the box whilst still in the car.

The level plug is behind a plastic cover on the box, just fill it up until it starts pouring out.

According to google, use 75w-85 gear oil.

That's simple. Pour a bucket of hot water, sit the bottle in the bucket for five minutes to warm it up.

Oh i'm stumped now

Engine out clutch changed engine back all working except

The bloody radio wants a code before it will let me listen to radio 4

How do i get the radio out of a ford focus it doesn't have any bolts and i don't think a gas axe is a good idea <spot the landrover owner defeated by plastic trim
