And secondly., my gearbox has been leaking oil, how to I check the level and how do top it up? (Leak will be fixed)

I gather we are talking about a Kombi. Basically, there is a plug on the pass side of the gearbox you need to undo to fill it. You'll need a
17mm(from memory?) Allen head socket to undo it. Then you just fill it up til it starts to overflow a bit. May be worth draining what's left of the
oil before you top it up too. Also, nulon make a gearbox treatment (in a tube) that is quite good, about $15 bucks and the gearbox is noticably
quieter and smoother, this was even the case for the very worn gearbox in my brothers old bay window.

Hi
Theres a company called Tefba located around Silverdale in western Sydney, he makes wheel nuts. Ive also seen stock Kombi nuts have the step machined
into them to fit Hotwires.

Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you judge them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
