The sun came out and i've finally managed to replace the gear box oil.
Using a Halfrauds traders card i saved £5.20 on 2ltrs of gear oil.
l immediately noticed a difference, no more fighting to get 1st and reverse.

Washed the car and cut 3 lawns.

Today?
made a mess:blush:
Changed engine oil and filters. Then knocked funnel over spilling oil on garage floor
Changed rear diff oil and struggled getting filler plug to go back in then realised I had drain plug in hand and the filler plug was in drain point.
Quick swap and managed to get oil on drive doing so.
Then went to do front diff but cant budge filler plug. Was only done 12 months ago so I must have over tightened it, so now its rounded off.
Gave up trying after a couple of hours.
Was going to do gearbox oil as well but had enough at this point. :angry:

Forgot to pick up my oil drain pan once finished replacing gearbox oil last weekend. Ended up driving over it and having to dig up part of my gravel drive to get rid of the oily bits! But I think yours takes the cake!
