when you say oval one you mean the one in the bumper?

Its a pain being the 3.0 ltr....going rate for the 2.7 box is only 500-600. Sorry its such a PITA....good luck!

Don't woe-rry....at least you'll be laughing at the end of it! LOL :lol:thumb2

....and a bit of low range.....:kissy

LOL! Well might have to take a trip down soon with my new (old) Passat.....seems it might even manage Calias to Sere Rustaing on one tank if I'm careful.....sadly I'm not!:lol

I'm not aware you can haver too much oil in a gearbox, unlike an engine. Some people even jack it up one side so they can overfill it......and like you, I thought the filler plug was the level effectively.

SAY WHAT??? Something slightly amiss there........the gearing on the Terrano against indicated speedo is such that in top gear, the AUTOMATIC does 30mph per 1000rpm, while the MANUAL does about around 30mph per 1250rpm. SO at 3500rpm, in a manual, you should be nudging an indicated 90mph...

Get a couple of litres of LSD fluid as well while your at it....:thumb2

I'm buggered! I've yet to meet him in person because i'm always zipping past Cahors at 3am (overmnight driving avoids the radar guns LOL)......but one of these days. Very nice chap.

Note I said 'person' LOL! :augie

Hahaha.....it IS eboy in disguise! Welcome back mate! :thumb2
