Dan, I forgot to mention....if you're gonna do your gearbox oil you'll need a massive syringe and about a meter of plastic tube...the filler plug is tight up against the underside, real difficult to get at. Battery powered oil pump is an alternative but unless you're gonna use it lots it's expensive.
Make sure you can undo the fill plugs before draining the oil to!
You can fill the gearbox quite easily with the 1l oil bottles with the little extension tubes. Push them up in between the gearbox and body, get the tube in the filler and squeeze the oil out. You can't empty the bottle completely, but if you get 2 bottles, squeeze in as much as you can from each then pour the leftover oil from one to the other and squeeze that in aswell you will get just enough to fill it, which is 1.7l from memory.
find a longer bit of tube, place it in the filler hole and route the tube up into the engine bay. You can then use a funnel or cut the bottom off your gear oil container and use that
