i don't use that hole for checking the level no, not sure how to do that.  Never had to check the level because you should only use the vauxhall oil, and that is only sold in 600ml bottles which is the correct amount.

look in workshop manual   then look in TXB oil level checking!

in short dont remove the temp sensor.. but remove the bolt next to it (mounting bolt) yes vx do it by 0.6L but I use castrol TQ-D (castrol recomendation for the 4x4)
comes in 1L and I use the first 0.4 to flush the box a little befor filling the 0.6

If and when you do it you will need the car in the air to get to the drain and the level check plugs BUT the car MUST be level!!!! or it will effect the amount it fills to!!!

Like martin has said you need to remove the bust sensor from the transfer box by lifting the car to get access.
The sensor will either be a 19mm bolt if the car is an early turbo or a 13mm if the car is a later model..
In order to get the system working again you will need to fit a working sensor in place of the bust one as without a working sensor, the system will not come back on..
Once you have another sensor fitted in place then you remove the bolt next to it that is in the mount.( be warned the sensors are very easily snapped off when tightening up so be carefull)
Then you fill with the oil from the breather pipe that comes out of the top of the transfer bx and should be coming out up by the header tank.
( this must be done on level ground) This is done using a small funnel and is a slow proccess..
You stop filling the oil when the oil starts to flow out of the mount bolt hole..
Then you replace the bolt..
If you intend to get the 4x4 working again you will need a replacement sensor which can prove difficult if you have the earlier turbo model as they are not made anymore..
Thing is, once the earlier temp sensor fails it is ruined and cannot be re used so a 2nd hand one will have to come of a working 4x4 box..
The later sensor is a simple switch so a 2nd hand one can be used again.. 8)

I rang them this afternoon and Kev, bless him, went to the shelf to fetch part to check it against what I explained to make sure it was right, oh and it'll be here in the morning as it was right :P :-*
