Hi All

I have just bought a 2003 RA Rodeo 3.0 td and when I have tried to source a worshop manual I was told that the only ones available were the genuine Holden ones ($500.00!!!!).
Is this correct?
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a copy at a lower price?

I am trying to change the oil in the gearbox (5sp manual) and transfer-case but can't find the filler plug for the gearbox!!!
The only thing that I think looks like it seems to be on the bellhousing rather than the box.
If anybody can help don't hesitate!

Holden manuals are on CD, and even if you buy one, you dont get the dealership issue CD's ( that are updated every month) as these cover recalls and security issues ETC. Check RHS of gearbox from memory, 24mm bolt recesed into the cast fins bout half way down the length of the box. Make sure you use the factory recomended oil. Dunno how many TF rodeos i have had to fix cause old mate didnt trust the factory recomendation to use engine oil in the gearbox. It dont change that well with 90w-140 in it when its sposed to use 10w-30 :roll: . Think this is the same for RA, but check ya owners manual anyway.
