Hi Guys

can anyone tell me how to check the fluid level on one of these - I'm blowed if I see how to do it - but I feel it may be getting low since the car is a little reluctant to engage reverse!!!

Ok, I bought a Haynes manual today and this is what it says:

Check fluid when warm i.e. after 20mile run.
Park on level surface.
Apply handbrake.
Start engine.
Press brake pedal.
Move selector through all gear positions starting and ending in 'P'.
The dipstick is located in the rear left-hand corner of the engine bay.
With engine still running, pull dipstick out, wipe, push back in, withdraw and check level is between the two marks.
If the level is low top up using funnel and pouring oil down dipstick tube.



Easy.
