Misky on the 16v (02A gearbox) it's the 17mm hex on the top left diagram Rmachines sent you. If you look under the car from the front you will see it on the gearbox right infront of you.

i fill em thru the speedo sensor/cable hole on the top, much easier.  level checking as per normal though, remove filler plug and fill till it starts to come out, refit bung and sensor/cable job done.

tip, i cut the bottom off an old gearbox oil bottle, stuff the other end into the speedo sensor hole and makes a great funnel

Jonny - I have a funnel with some hose pipe attached as the R5 GTT was a right pain.  :laugh:
