    Well, there's me told :p

    After being around cars for many years, I never knew that. I always though that they were fed from the same oil. But having slept on it and thought about it logically, I seem to have been talking out my hiney. :D

    I think it's because I have never had to put oil in a gearbox and the filler is not bleedin' obvious. :eek:

    I shall now slink away in embarrassment and hide. :embarasse

    the filler bung for the gearbox is not obvious on most cars especially rear wheel drive, they can only be accessed easilly with the car in the air.

    At most i'd give him an hours labour and a tenner for oil.

    Doesn't take an hour to pour in it and watch it leak out.
