I went after the how to top off without a lift problem in a different
way. I cut an access hole into the side of my gearbox tunnel centered on
the fill plug.
Series Land Rovers have a big access hole in their gearbox tunnels and a
big rubber plug to seal the hole. The rubber plugs are available new.
I drilled a pilot hole centered over the TR's fill plug and made a hole
the size of the LR rubber plug. I suppose one could do the same with the
rubber plug that fits over the jack hole in a TR3.
So I sit the car on a level surface, remove the rubber plug then the
fill plug then fill or top off using a funnel with a tube at the bottom.
