hi spook well done on the purchase of the truck.
when topping up gearbox over fill slightly as these boxes tend to starve top shaft in box so a little extra gets splashed up there.
if running cold new thermostat will sort it .
if when your towing caravan / horse box and overheating problems accure
it will problebly be the radiator fins these crumble away and reduce cooling effect, also above 55mph the fan struggles to keep its cool while towing .

When topping up the gear box, do you get access to the top up point from the engine bay? do you need any special tools?

just bought one

HI dsgrnmcm.
access is from underneath truck filler plug is on side of gearbox .
different models have the plug on different sides.
sorry cannot recall if spanner is an allen key or 1/2" drive squaire as on a rachet.
1/2 pint of extra oil will be plenty you may have to tilt truck to side filler is on to aid over filling.

WARNING WARNING AWARNING WARNING WARNING
IF CHANGING OIL ON DIFF/GEARBOX/TRANSFERE BOX.
ALWAYS BUT ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET FILLER PLUG OUT BEFORE REMOVING DRAIN PLUG .
OR YOU ARE STUFFED.
WORK SAFE IF JACKING TRUCK UP MAKE SURE ITS SAFE. USE AXLE STANDS ECT.
