Need to do the same on mine.

Gear changes from 1st to 2nd are a bit hard ( 30000 miles from the last change )

It was a DIY or a dealer's visit, Alan?

How much you paid?

Cheers

...... 45 min to do inc tea break.

Took me a little longer this evening - excuse being it was a) dark, b) bloody freezing so the new oil was very gloopy and took ages to flow down the tube I used to fill it, and c) took a while to find my 1/2" to 3/8" adapter so I could fit the 3/8" drive Allen socket to my breaker bar to crack the drain plug loose.

Only worry being that only 1.3 litres came out instead of the expected 2.4 ( 2.4 went back in though ), and what came out looks like ATF

Hello, just wondering which is the correct oil to use - no details in handbook for Atf - It has been sugested to me I can use Comma MVATF+ Fully synthetic or aisin oem atf-0t4 fluid .
Thanks!
