Finally, after many attempts and the purchase of some allen driver bits, the gearbox filler plug budged. I've mentioned earlier that I've made a hole in the passenger footwell to fill the gearbox without the need to access it from underneath, now with the help of a metal tube on the end of the socket bar it gave in. Filling the 'box was then really easy, as the standard bottle neck was
just long enough:

There's some debate on line as to which oil to use in a Ford Type 9 gearbox, but the majority seem to agree that it should be the automatic gearbox oil that Westfield supplied with the kit.
Whilst on a roll, and with about 30 mins left, I decided to fit the number plate light: 20 minutes deciding where to mount it, 10 to drill the three holes and attach it. The location was chosen to allow either a rectangular or square plate to be fitted. Haven't wired it in yet as the cable needs shortening and a plug attaching.
