HI Steve
To check you auto gearbox oil, best to check it after a good run, ( not you, the car) any way you would be out of breath, oh yes, to get back to checking the oil, after a run stop the car on level ground, leave the engine running,
with your foot on the break move the gear change through all the gear's 3 times ending up in PARK then with the bonnet up and looking at the engine from the front of the car, the auto box dip stick is on the left-hand side of the engine, at the back you will see a long thin metal pipe sticking up with a black plastic handle sticking out of it. pull it out wipe the stick with a cleanish cloth push it back down the pipe take it out again and the stick should have 2 notch's on the bottom of it, the oil level should be close to the top notch, and ideally a reddish in colour if it's a dark brown or black or any other colour you might think about changing it .
Good luck :)
Keith
P.S Sorry if this is stating the obvious, just covering all the angles.

Hi
It's done it again, right instead of push it back let's try put it back in. see if that work's ( it must think it has sexual under tones or something )
