Unfortunantly you do fill it up through the dipstick.

I used a bit of flexible hose and a funnel on the end of it to do it.

The bolt underneath the gearbox is only for removal of the oil.

Yep its through the dip stick alright.

But what a great idea ... no more lying on yer back under the car trying to squeeze it in through a hole in the side of the casing.

Just do like me and get a bit of hose and a funnel.

even better is to get a squeezy bottle and squirt directly into said hose. Did it with funnel at first and took ages!
