   Just a quickie
   
   I searched, and someone mentioned that people usually drop 2 litres into the top breather..
   
   Will i be ok doing this? As the top 8mm male bolt is well and truly stuck. And i changed my struts/shafts so need to fill it back up.
   
   Many thanks in advance!

   Filling through the breather is absolutely fine mate, and beats the ball ache that you would usually have with the tiny amount of room in the filler
