Ok tools you will need are a 24mm + 23mm socket and ratchet and a homebrew filling system (look below).
Firstly jack up your car or put your car on ramps you need to try and make the car as level as possible lucky for me I have a slanted driveway so it was not too hard to get level.
This is the spirit level on the sill below.
Now locate the drain and refill plugs on the gearbox these are on the passenger (near/side) side of the gearbox.
The drain plug is NOT THE BOLT WITH THE TORX it is the one that requires a 24mm socket to undo if you undo the torx bolt the world will stop and we will all die !! fact!
Ok now all your gearbox fluid has all drained clean up the magnetic drain plug and get all the filings off it, these are pretty normal so don't worry.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Make sure you remember to put the drain plug in and here is the fun bit and the bit you need a homebrew filler or some kind of pump (I chose the homebrew "shitfiller3000") this compromised of a hosepipe, a funnel and a smaller pipe to fit into the fill plug hole and some duck tape. What I did was route the pipe through the engine bay into the gearbox and had a friend put about 500ml in at a time and wait for it to drain through until the correct amount was in the gearbox, have a spare tub incase of any spillage when you remove the pipe from the gearbox.
Now once this is done put the fill plug back in and hey presto the gearbox is done .. now for the diff :)
I used 75w 90 but I've heard others using 80w 90 .
