Have a F reg V8 90 and need some help working out what gearbox is fitted and then which oil i need to top it up with as i am hoping (fingers and toes crossed) that more oil will help with the 'cement mixer' noise in neutral.
Cheers
Chris

Thanks for that, will be under taking a look first thing tomorrow.

Hopefully it will tone down the noise a bit.
