Access auto gearbox filler plug..!

Post by John Plum »

Just a quickie, sounds stupid, but how exactly do I get to the autobox (AL4) filler plug and where is it!

I can't see it. Memory tells me it's accessible from behind the wheel, after removing the wheel and splach cover.

Do I go from the top of the engine, or from behind the nearside wheel or where?

If you remove the air filter housing and look down it's sitting on top of the box. I rigged up a funnel and pipe to refill mine cos it's a PITA to access without spilling and at £8/litre it's liquid gold.
