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.
