engine oil
Simple question folks looked in the manual but I cant seem to find where to top up the engine oil in my 2.0 litre petrol 2000 model, I know where the dipstick is but not the filler cheers

Re: engine oil
It's on the other side under the driver's seat 
On the diesel the dipstick & filler are both on the same side. On both petrol models they're on different sides as the engines weren't specifically designed for Bongos. On a normal motor once you've opened the bonnet, it doesn't matter which side the dipstick & filler are on.

Sometimes, if accessibility is tricky, it can be better to remove the seat which is only held in place with 5 bolts and one connector to disconnect.
