It's time for some payback to a forum I love to read but rarely contribute to.
I've been doing my first service on my 110 csw which has all been fine until I get to change the oil in the gearbox and transfer box. How do I get oil in there without spending silly money?
Here's my solution for a grand total of £9 for two! One for my transfer box oil (EP80W-90 GL4) and one for my gearbox oil (MTF94). This is my set up on the 5l bottle of transfer box oil.
The pump that pretty much screws into the top of the bottle is from a company called ecover who do eco cleaning stuff. Each pump does about 25ml of fluid and it move gear oil just fine. The tube is from a local pond shop but you could source some homebrew tube from the high street I bet. (Shorter walk to the pond shop!) I then shoved the tube on the little spout and cable tied it tight.
I used a sandwich bag clip to keep the oil dripping from the end when I'd finished (I didn't pay for that but knicked it from the kitchen!)
In use I just shoved the plastic tube into the fill hole and then pumped away under the landy till oil came out. Simple, cheap and very effective. What's not to love?
You can order the ecover pumps online for £3.00 each. BARGAIN.

Hope that helps.
