How much oil does the gearbox hold?

Go for GL4-5 to help save the bronze bits. 5 is a bit corrosive. Yeah, fill up to filler hole or through speedo sensor hole. Drain at lowest point on diff crown gear. Use a 17mm spanner and spare wheel nut if you don't have the tool. I drain straight after having stopped to get all the bits floating around in the oil, before they have a chance to settle.

I use the stuff you can get on ebay with no problems and change it every 20k miles. Much cheaper than halfords. 3.5L. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121617362859

Thanks buying that particular oil off eBay will work out to be way to expensive because I live Northern Ireland on the shipping is £16. But found this 2 with free shipping it seems to be to same spec

Perfect.

Thanks for your help I filled it up today as I had to fix a leak behind the fifth gear cover. the gearbox took 2.5 litres before it started coming out of the fill hole and i used this oil https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373537080219 it seems to be pretty decent quality stuff and the car is shifting great
