RRPhil is on a distinguished road
This is the location of the filler/level plug on the RH side of the casing towards the rear :



If you are going to check/set the fluid level :

• Only use Mobil ATF LT71141 fluid (branded by ZF as Lifeguard Fluid 5) for topping up
• The engine must be running*
• Engage each gear selector position for a few seconds before returning to Park*
• The transmission fluid temperature in the sump must be between 30 and 50 deg. C.

*to ensure that the torque converter, clutch circuits, cooler lines and valve block are all full. For this reason, if you remove the filler/level plug without the engine ticking over, you should get over a litre of fluid pouring out and running down your arm.
