Pick up the crush washer and sump screw tomorrow. Hope it's the right one. I'm using the method that was posted on 306gti where you remove the battery and fill from the top and only remove one sump screw. I'll have to go by memory since the site is down!
Remove the battery to fill the gearbox oil?
Nope, don't need to, don't even need to remove the wheel nor arch liner if you are feeling particularly lazy. It is even easier than an engine oil change!
If you have a funel you can get it into the filler cap without removing anything.
