• wouldn't bother trying to check the level, just assume it should be changed completely;
• take off the middle seat/ cubby box cover to give access to where the overdrive unit is just above and to the side of the handbrake drum;
• there will be a filler hole on the side of the unit somewhere, probably with a 20mm or so filler nut;
• There must be a similar sized drain hole at the bottom;
• capacity around 1.5L of EP90, just squeeze it in the filler hole.

Hi

This is my first post on here for a long time :-( , so please be gentle


As the title, I’m a proud owner of a diesel series 3, that I’ve been driving every day now for a few weeks, I have serviced the old girl myself, but here’s the question?


How do I check the oil level in the over drive unit (Fairy) I think, I’ve googled to try and find some photos but no joy.


Any help much appreciated


Cheers

Tim
