Should be drain plugs some place on the gearbox.drain plug at bottom of
box and a filler plug up a bit from the drain plug.takes about 2-2,5

Is that a manual or automatic box? Why do you think you need to do this?
Certainly the manual box does not require an oil change under normal
circumstances.
However, the level plug is on the end of the box, about 5 O'Clock as you
look at it from the LH wheel arch. It is the larger bolt head holding the
pressed steel cover on. Make sure that the car is level, and remove plug. If
oil is right level, you will get a slight drip out of the hole. Otherwise
add a little EP80 or similar oil until it does just dribble out.
If it is an automatic box, I have no idea, either take it to a mechanic or
buy a Haynes manual.

If it is an auto transmission (AL4) once you drain the oil and refill
it you may have problems. Apparently you need to hook up the car to
the DIAG2000 computer at a transmission oil change. From what I can
understand, if you drain the oil and refill it, the car's computer
system does not know that there is new oil in the transmission until
the DIAG2000 tells the car's computer system that it has new oil.
Sounds strange I know...
