Err... modern? The Mini (think 1959 Issigonis, not that BMW that's the size of a Ford Focus) had combined engine and gearbox lubrication

Mind you... it was kind of ahead of it's time on a few levels

we have a pump at work so its fairly easy but needs 2 people....one pumping as its not on a ramp....if i do the swivels is it better to use oil or fill with grease

I'd vote fer grease every time. Only drawback is you find out later that your swivel seals are leaky, which is a pain if you like wading lots.

yeah grease is good but as adz ses make sure your swivel seals are in good nick
