To get to the clutch bleed nipple (its a mongrel to get at) you will probably find it easier to remove the aluminium plate mounted under the engine / transmission. If you have to remove that, you may as well change out the gearbox fluid too.
Thanks!

Cabin filter looks great and relatively new - I'm guessing it was replaced not too long ago, so I'm going to skip it at this point. I just checked it when I was replacing the battery about 2-3 weeks ago.

Not sure where the drain holes are located, but I can tell you that one of the last times I drove the car it poured and my driver's side seatbelt was soaked through at the part that hits the drivers shoulder when strapped in....I'm guessing I've got water coming in somewhere!

Re: the gearbox fluid. I would love to replace it - Any recommendations on fluid and procurement?
