sorry no pic but if look under the car at the front of the gearbox u will see a plastic plug with a wire connected to it, thats the reverse light switch, to the right of it u should see a allen key bolt, this is the oil fill point

have you got a dremel? make a notch in it and get a huge screwdriver on it, tap it a few times then try it,or just take it to a garage and let them sort it out. its getting too cold for messing with cars now
