ATF is Automatic Transmission Fluid. Ye can pick this up at most motor factors like Partco (cheaper than Halfords)

Ah used to use this stuff .....

......untill they (partco) changed to this stuff...

If it's owt like me bus, then the trickiest bit is fillin' the gearbox back up. Ah made me own filler upperer

Have a look here for some ideas...

On mine there's two drain plugs for the gearbox, one is the main drain and the other is the extension box drain (which has a filter), just undo these one at a time with a suitable container below to catch the oil. Best take it a drive first to warm the oil up as it'll flow a bit better and be carefull not to scauld yerself

Have a look at difflock website.
Any Euro Car Parts or German Swedish French outlets nearby or agricultural oulets.

Remove yer filler plug before removing the drain plug.
It's embarrasin ter drain the oil then find that you can't re-fill!

Draper do a 500ml oli syringe fer about 6 quid - makes re-fillin a doddle.

thanks for all the help guys. will do the engine oil and filters today. then once i have brought the syringe etc, i will have a go at the gearbox oil and transfer box oil.

Theres a motor factors in banbury called Frenco's, they're good for cheap bits, my motorbike numberplate was 6 quid, 15 quid was the cheapest elsewhere.
