Anyone plz advise what the oil type & capacity is for this model?
I'd buy a Haynes manual, but I have now zero confidence in Mr Haynes advice!
TIA

Mine takes 4.75 litres, just use Magnatec GTD!
Ooops - forgot to say Gearbox!
Its about 2-3 litres. Best way to do the job is remove the n/s front wheel and drop the car low on thejack to drain the box from the bottom plug.
Then ( after fitting drain plug back) you acces the fill plug from the inner wing behind the plastic mudguard. Just keep squeezing oil in using one of those 1ltr bottles with a feed pipe until it starts to back flow and drip out heavily.
I did mine last month hoping it would reduce the whining noise....but it didn't.
:-)
Or you could adopt the alternative draining method - pull out the driveshaft (as I did)......
