    TD5 Gear box oil HELP!

    No not upset more annoyed that I may have been misled by local car parts shops as none stocked the Texaco oil and said it would take about a week to order but the Comma stuff I got was correct stuff.

    Really? did I empty the old oil out? thats your question? Well of course I did, I'm not that wet behind the ears. Several websites listed it as a direct replacement for the Texaco stuff and the car parts shop I ordered it from claims its the same stuff just a cheaper brand. I did ask the...

    yup no resistance what so ever. Not tried doing anything with the bell housing as not sure whats wrong thats why asked on here. If gears are working ok why do you suggest a new slave cylinder?

    It would not budge, put a length of pipe on the ratchet and stripped it a bit. We can still get the torx bit to go in and hold but the filler plug will not budge.

    TD5 Gear box oil HELP!

    there is no bleed screw at the master cylinder and the manual only points at bleeding air out of the slave cylinder if there is air in the system

    TD5 Gear box oil HELP!

    No I did not understand his idea of removing the drain plug either but its done move on as they say. T55 Torx bit is the tool to undo the filler plug but it just wont budge
