Thanks.
It makes it easier for people to follow rather than have to alternate between two separate threads. :thumbs:
Cheers Col.

I tried the one in the manual with no success. I eventually found that the one in the pic I’ve attached is the easiest one to use. I bought a meat basting syringe and it worked really well. Tilt the pump so the reservoir is at the bottom and just syringe the oil in. Works great.

Brilliant write up in this topic. Just fixed my 2002's roof using this guide :Yes:

Thank you so much for this addition too... there's no ball ball bearing behind that one, so no pressure needed :) Much easier than removing the reservoir!
