Having both these done soon, along with brake fluid and coolant.

Gearbox oil, do I need to replace the plugs and washers? If so these fit? (X2)

Thanks
 
Some/most oil filters come with a new crush washer for the plug. Normally no need to replace the plug unless someone has chewed it up with vice grips!
I didn't bother replacing the gearbox drain or fill plugs but it's not a bad idea to atleast replace the copper washer.
If you are having it done at a shop they will often have a range of copper washers in stock to replace the old ones. :thumbsup:

Thanks I’ll grab some washers.

Yes, being done at local indie in a few weeks, £70 for engine oil, gearbox oil, coolant and brake fluid change, I’m supplying all parts which suites me
 
Gearbox filler and drain plugs do not have sealing washers, sump drain are copper 12 x 17 copper washers.
When you come to the Diff drain and filler have alloy washers, they corrode so always have new ones to hand when changing diff oil they are 22 x 27

My mistake! :D I remember now that the gearbox plugs had rubber seals integrated into the plugs.
I reused them without any issues.
