Cripes. From memory it should be be the rather obvious looking knurled cap in a line more or less up from the dipstick i.e. towards the front end of the rocker cover. I'm guessing, but it should have a dripping oil can symbol or similar on it. Its certainly under the same engine cover as the dipstick anyway. If in doubt, wait for further replies to your post.

Good luck

Hi,

As said before it's under the drivers seat, black plastic cap on top of the engine. Just behind that is the dipstick for the autobox and nearer the outside is the power steering reservior.

Oh crap

I really should learn to read things properly. An excess of enthusiasm I fear.

I'll fetch me other coat (I fetched the first one last night).

I concur pain in the ass when you first change the oil, you have to keep walkin around the van to check the level
