Hi, I was changing the engine and gearbox oils on the Roadster yesterday and struggling to fill the gearbox via the filler hole on the side of the box. There's no room to get the 1ltr plastic bottle and it's filler tube in without it going everywhere.
Thought this might help others with the same problem. I happen to have a 12v oil transfer pump, the type where you put the tube down the dip stick hole and suck the engine oil out.
I put one end in the bottle and the other into the filler hole and switched it off once the oil started coming out of the filler hole. Nice and easy. If you want one of those pumps, there's loads on eBay for under £15.
All the best, Gareth.
