| Hi Matt - it's an R380. 5 speed manual. I'll try and find the gearbox number tomorrow. |

No worries, Paul. I'm going to leave it advertised on here for a few days and if there's no takers I might come back to you to see what sort of timescales are workable for you.
Cheers. |

Hi Paul - if I could get rid of it in the next 30 days it'd be useful.
Cheers,

I received my core plug and gasket, and set about finding something to knock the core plug in with. I wanted to find something that would be just f ... |

| Had a closer look today and managed to spot coolant spurting out of the front core plug. I'm guessing that the ancillary casing needs to come off for this. Is that the case? Does anyone know the proce ... |

| Quick update on this. I topped up with coolant and the symptoms are the same as JonJop's on the thread referenced by donmacn (thanks, btw). In other words, with the engine off, I top up and then get a ... |

| I have to admit that I don't know. I guess I won't find out unless I fill her up again. Unless there's a way I can gauge how much had been lost? |

I managed to get my hands round the back and attach the proper rear lifting eye in the end. It was a real pain but got there in the end. Hopefully they'll hold the engine nicely now.
