jonnie205 1 Posted March 4, 2008 fill until it comes out of level plug on side of casing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saveloy 8 Posted March 6, 2008 You will find that 1.65 - 1.7 litres is sufficient. Try to use a good fully synthetic 75W/80 grade, from Morris, Silkolene, Mobil,Redline,etc. Failing that use a 75W/90 grade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 6, 2008 Saveloy is right, its less than 2L, but as Jonnie says dont take anyone elses word on it, just fill it until it comes out of the level plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alastairh 47 Posted March 6, 2008 When you crack that 19mm off though, crack it with your head in the wheel arch, and not what i done one time, when it was really stuborn and do it with your head under the valance. When it let go, my eye head butted the towing eye, and had a black eye for a few days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
