    hi Dan,
    get a 1ltr bottle of oil, it should come with a spout. you wont get the whole bottle in so might be worth getting two .

  4. Ordered 2 litres just to be on the safe side as I lost well over 1 litre. Think I will buy one of those pumps tonight, that would be handy for all sorts as well. Is it best to access from under the car Im guessing as well?? I might take some pictures as I am doing this just in case anyone else has this same problem.

    Cheers
    Dan

    yes from under the car, you can do it without removing the wheel, but you need to jack up the passenger front corner.
     
  6. Try and get the car level when on stands too, as you want to fill it up until it starts dribbling back out of the filler hole.
     
  7. Do you need to remove the wheel arch liner or is the wing nut just accessible from underneath?

  8. Get to it from underneath easily enough.

    use a funnel and hose pipe down of the front of the battery, no need to take the arch liner out
     
  10. Can you do this without taking out the battery?? Its fine either way but just want to get this done whilst I still have light.

    yeah there a gap in front of the tray, then remove the wing nut from underneath

    ignore the red circle in the top left
