Fill via the vent. Black cap, top of gearbox under the air filter housing. Pull black cap off, shove tube then a funnel in that and fill. Need to measure the amount, no dipstick or level indicator

Same procedure for 2.8 jtd so I'd assume same for 2.8 dti

Thank you for all the advice spot on and the gear box has now been refiled.

Trevor, my mechanic pal would drain our 2.8TDi on the level, then jack it up on the nearside before refilling with the correct grade oil at the side on filler plug. He did this so as to slightly overfill, making sure that the notorious 5th gear had the best chance of getting lubricated ASAP, but not enough to blow any seals.
Yes, we did eventually had to cretaceous the 5th gear and synchronise, but the mileage was much higher than many whose 5th gear had failed.

Good luck with yours.

Jock.

P.S. I had previously fitted a quality magnet to the gearbox cover, to attract any debris, which was much in evidence when he removed the cover.
