Bought some new oil for the gearbox and engine today but where is the fill hole for the gearbox ?

Been looking at it for awhile and its hiding or it's really obvious one or the other either way it's eluding me haven't found the drain plug yet either

Not to worry we found the small bolt on the side hidden! Pretty hard to get at it alright.

If you have the same gear box used in the G Esprit, the fill hole is on the top of the transmission. Pull up the carpet covering the flat spot in the boot and you will see a cover. Remove the cover, and the filler plug will be right on top. I think it's a 7/8 hex bolt.
The top plug on the side is for checking the level. Do not remove the middle plug, the bottom plug is for draining the oil. If you have the owners manual, it should be stated in there.
