Oil top up

I've just attempted to top up the oil on my 1997 2.5 V6 bongo and had looked at the relevant information on the bongo fury website!
I lifted the passenger seat no problem but could not find the filler cap. On checking under the drivers seat I could see it. The only problem I found was that as I have a mid conversion I could not lift the seat up very far and topping up was extremely hard!
Has anyone else had this problem and can offer me any tips on how to make this easier please?!
Thank you!

Yup same problem, I rest the seat on the steering wheel. Also decant the oil into a smaller container so its easier to reach in under the seat!

Maybe I should get a V6 if they stay as clean as that!
