Anyone know the correct ammount of oil i need to put in my type 9 gearbox? Done a search but nowt came up.

Make sure it's roughly level and fill until it runs out of the drain hole. The correct level is upto the bottom of the drain hole I believe. Well that's the advice I've always used. Someone else may have better info.

Same as the diff then! Cheers i'll go put some in.

that's sierra right? Normally the quantities are in the haynes manual - I happend to have ended up with 2 - make me an offer and it is yours - postage is about £3.

Haynes data manuals seem to vary depending on the engine (!?!), but are between 1.2 and 1.5 litres

Correct answer is to fill until it reaches the bottom of the filler hole. Cant remember how much I used when I last did it though ... I seem to remember a touch over a litre, but I could be wrong.
Cheers

Well it can't be any more than a litre cos that's all i got

It's 1.9 litres I'm afraid!

It's also supposed to be filled to a tad lower than the level plug for some daft reason but best to just fill to the plug level, a touch more will help keep 5th gear in good nick and at worst will just cause the 'box to breathe a touch more oil out.
