hope you have long arms with asbestos skin. I suggest doing this when the engine is cold to start off with. Then when proficient enough go for hot...lol 1) open bonnet and stand at the front of car looking at the engine. 2) Directly in front of your right arm attached to the front panel and going back towards the engine / gearbox is a black plastic Air intake duct taking cold air from outside to your air filter. REMOVE THAT. 3) Below that air intake is a mass of pipes, Hot water / oil and cables, These require you to get between them and push them apart. (Thats where you need the asbestos skin when engine is hot.) 4) Below said (Scalding hot pipes) is a small YELLOW button like thingy (lol), That is the top of your Gearbox Dipstick. 5) Beware, it is held in place by a spring clip, so sometimes can be an extra to overcome. 6) Remember when checking your oil. the dipstick Must be pressed FULLY HOME passed that dammed spring clip every time. And all this must be done when the Engine / gearbox is F**King HOT. 7) I Only Have SHORT NON HEAT BEARING SKIN ARMS and it Bloody hurts checking the oil when hot. 8) PS To top up the said gearbox, you have to fill it through the little tube you have just found. DON'T OVERFILL. Have fun, Joe.

I just checked the atf level cold, and it was right up the stick. To me it seems very overfilled.
Am I right? |

There is also a sequence of gear shifts to do whilst stationary before checking it. Sorry, I can't remember the sequence, but I'm sure someone on here will chip in with it......

There is a mark on the dipstick which says 'cold'. It's right at the bottom of the stick. The actual level was way, way up.

You don't check the coolant level when hot and conversely you don't check ATF when cold.

A sump drain yields around 3-3.5 litres.
