Hi, get a small turkey baster and some fuel line tubing that will fit over the end snugly and baste away. It's still a messy job, so wrap a lot of rags around the area.

If your car is a 2001 you should already have the good fluid Pentosin CHF11S in it. This is a synthetic fluid and will last for a long time.

This link should help JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource

Superb, thanks Gus.

I'll be adding RESOLVED to the title for the benefit of others.
