Just about to do my gearbox oil but can people tell me which is the drain, which is the leveler (presume large allen key that was behind the SMIC?) and the filler? What am I looking for torx bits, allen bolts, sockets, etc?

you are looking for 17mm hex - takes a hex driver to undo it

drain is under the differential (where driveshafts come out) and fill is on front face of box - and is a bitch to get at I seem to recall on turbo's as the intercooler is right infront of it !

Done...! Cheers guys I wasnt sure if the Ibiza had a top filler or not as I couldnt fine one. Just used just short of two bottles of Redline MT-90 and the box feels smoother, the oil that came out wasnt black, but it certainly wasnt clear!!
