Hi how do i top up/check oil level in my renault kangoo gearbox

There is a plastic filler cap at front side of gearbox. Fill until oil spils over.

I can only see a white plastic filler cap on the top of the gearbox which is visible under the bonnett is this it;i can see it by the battery under some hoses and cables?

There is a breather vent with a plastic cap on top of box. This is not the filler cap. Filler cap or plug is on the front and is accessible from below. Filler cap is white or transparent plastic thumbscrew type.
I use a hose and funnel for topping up. Feed the hose from above and gravity fill until level is flush with level of hole and oil starts spilling out.

Thanks for the info tolsen ill give it a whirl so the brain plug should be on the bottom or below the filler plug then; i can see the drain plug its a hex half inch drive fitment so the filler plug should be slightly above that one on the sime side yeah? Cheers dave
