where is the gearbox oil nut located so i can drain the gear oil?? How do i add gear box oil where is the other nut for it?

The gearbox drain plug is under the gearbox supprisingly ;-) , And the filler plug is on the front of the gearbox right by the front gearbox/engine mount on the passenger side of the engine compartment matey, It's very tricky to get to mate and some kind of oil pump would be the best way of getting oil in, Or just use a long pipe and a funnel like I did last time :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Ps the drain plug is the one nearest the passenger side, the big one is the transfer box one matey before you ask :roll: .

Just to add, use some PTFE tape (plumbers tabe) on the threads of both plugs when you put them back in. That will stop any pesky leaks from them !

After putting my Forge front mount on, (pipe run gets in the way abit), I found a funnel into abit of old hose pipe going past the right hand side of the radiator worked a treat. Couldn't have been easier.
