Perfect, cheers for that guys, might do that tomorow see how it goes. Other then that I'm just waitiing on my new airbox and temp sensor and hopefully the car will be running 100% (suffering a second of detonation if I floor it below 3000rpm)

Sorry I'm real bad at this ay hahaha, I'm just having a look now and the only 24mm size cap I can find is on the top of the gearbox (looking down on it under the bonnet) and its under a Black Metal arm that comes off the mount and bolts onto the gearbox, is this the one?

And being a "check" hole or filler, its probably going to be almost exactly half way up?

Ohk so I've had a look, and the only 24mm bung is a hex key type, as in I'd need to undo it with a hex key not a socket is that right? The only other bolt I can see on the front of the box is near the end on the passengers side but is only 18mm

Just had a look at mine, and it sits about halfway down the gearbox (top to bottom) and sits behind the radiator fan.

May be different on the 6 speed but i doubt they'd change that. Mines a normal bolt too, so unless someone replaced your standard bolt with something different, have another look for the 24mm sized one.

Cheers for that mate. It was the hex key type one, the box was full which was good, I just put some additive in it and see how it goes otherwise I'll do a full flush + additive and hopefully get a result :P
Thanks for all the help ay! Much appreciated
