Yes, fill until it stops running out filler hole, then run through gears, then recheck and top up. Do a search if your stuck, many members have done this job succesfully.You got a workshop manual?

Yes, you can't just fill it with fluid first time around and leave it at that.

You must fill it up initially to full

then start and run through gears (standing still) for a few minutes then fill again - might take another 2 litres

then no harm in driving around the block a few times and checking (and possibly topping up) a THIRD time... might take another 500ml.

That's what I did.

that's the norm mate, you never get it full with one pan full, you have to keep topping it up after running through the gears engine running.
