JST Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Every time i do it i get the stuff all over the place less in the G box. So any tips, i dont have a nice pump and G box is in situ, as most will know not alot of space in there to get to the filler! I don't really want to use the 500ml squeezy container thing, arms ache, its goes everywhere and i spend more time waiting for the bottle to refill with air after each squeeze than i do actually getting the oil in there!

Steve 90 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Most of our commonly used oils are in 25ltr containers with a barrel pump and hose but if you only use occasionally one of these will do the trick. http://shop.difflock.com/oilsafe-pump-litre-p-93.html Bit pricey for the occasional user but they are very well made and seem to last well. Had a few cheaper versions and they dont last five minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 4 plastic funnels from tesco for a quid, using the largest, cut the end off it & inserted/force a peice of garden hose pipe into it. Leave pipe long enough so you can fill from decent position.Secure fit is best. Dont know if your seat box cover can be removed easily but done mine with the cover off. Took about 45mins with this bore size. Did manage to spill a cup full but that was due to filling the tbox at the same time & not paying enough attention Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , Most tool shops sell a pump that fits to an electric drill that suck & Pump they are around £14 & are excellent Sometimes in the cold you will need to prime the pump using a funnel to get it to suck EP80 Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Until I lashed out and bought and Oil Safe with a pump I used the funnel and garden hose method. Tie the funnel to the drivers side wing mirror. Hse into bottom of funnel. 'tother end of hose into gearbox. Fill funnel and let it drain into gearbox. For those who don't know... The Torex plug can be changed to a normal type fronm an LT77 gearbox. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 £80 - h*ll i'd rather drip it all down my arm! Will keep an eye out for the small drill pumps. Hose and funnel are looking best at the moment though! thanks for the responses. PS - why would you cant to change the Torex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Go and buy a B&Q garden sprayer - I used one to fill my auto box and it has an on / off switch too! In fact, if you want to borrow it I am around all weekend and could meet you halfway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 9/16 ? IIRC the diff's / transfer box & LT77 boxes used 1/2 inch square drives, certainly are on mine though my R380 still retains it's T55 fill/level plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the LT77 drain plug on the extension case, the large nut that's got the filter above it below the internal oil pump or the one below & forward of the fill/level plug on the right hand side this one has the magnet attached to it.
