Hi from one newbie to another!

I've had a quick look through the GTG section, but can't find the Duxford meet? Any dates please? In laws live in Ely, so would drop in on the way through if it co-incides with a visit!

You are correct in that you will need a dipstick to read the oil level in the auto box. Changing the oil is possible as a DIY job but I would strongly recommend that you have a good indie garage do it as there are several pitfalls when changing the auto fluid, such as shearing sump bolts and you will also need to turn the engine to get access to the torque converter drain plug.

Do the Torque converter and the auto box have a seperate oil reservoir, or is it shared oil?

I mean, is it bad to not change the torque converter oil when changing the ATF in the gearbox?

It's the same oil, you need to drain the gearbox sump and the torque converter to get all the oil out.
