Just a word of warning....

Topping up the gearbox oil level yesterday (due to a minor leak from the gasket - now sorted) You have to get the filler/level plug on the side out with the engine running then fill until it dribbles out then get the plug back in with the engine running.

Soooooo, given the procedure, why the feck did they place it close to the exhaust cat?????

Just so muppets like me can burn themselves on it....it was just a glance, a tiny touch that lasted a nanosecond once I felt it.....but I still have quite a painfull burn on my arm now....

So word of warning, wear longer gloves or don't do it with your jumper sleeves rolled up!
