   Cheers steve!
   
   All done now, very easy when you know how.
   Long story cut short - you put oil in(4ltrs) then run it and then drain the overflow off.
   
   Very Tricky Shit!!!!

   No ATF on autboxes has to be changed it goes brown after a while & that`s when damage to the box occurs because the linings of the clutches wear out.
