Hiya

silly questions but ....

is the gearbox plug the same size and thread as the sump plug ?

and how / where do i put fresh oil into the box .

P.s I've left this super last minute the car is booked in for brands hatch on Sunday

They are the same thread on the 172/182 (M16x1.5) so i'd imagine they are on the 197 too.

The fill plug will be a plastic wing nut on the front of the box.

You'll need to remove the airbox and fill it from above with a pipe and funnel.
