Hi Mark, the gearbox oil change is easy enough drain plug at the bottom filler on the side, the trick bit is making sure you undo the filler plug first as they tend to be a real sod to get out if you drain it first and then can't get the filler out you are up poo creek, the Haldex is a different matter as you need the kit with the filter and oil, a word to the wise Haldex pumps have a filter screen on the pump so its worth taking it out and cleaning, on replacement put new seals on the entry neck of the pump or it will leak.
