Just had the under tray off (first time by the looks of it) because I have an oil leak. Still not absolutely sure of its origins but the gearbox sump nut and surround is fairly wet but then so is most of the front sub-frame. The gearbox isn't as precise as I thought it would be even though it's done 125k would a lack of oil cause the vagueness and as above might as well change it out but haven't got hold of a manual yet. TIA

How much though, or do you just fill it till it spills over inspection hole?

from the thread you quoted:
"Check the hole where the inspection bolt had been removed, it is unlikely any fluid will be escaping just yet. Continue with your third litre of fluid (manual states 2.2 litres for fluid change), at the point where fluid starts to spill from the inspection hole, the gearbox is filled. You can now reinstall the bolt removed from the inspection hole."
The car should be level (i.e. not jacked up) when filling to ensure you get the right amount in.

And still...
The manual says 2.2L but in the real world it takes 2.5L to make it overflow.
