Just a note on my recent discovery of a hose that fits over the large radiator opening. I use an old CPAP hose which fits snugly and no clamps are needed. Son and I used it on his '01 Volvo this past weekend with no spillage. The CPAP is used for my breathing unit at night, so if you know of any lungers see if you can get a hose from them. I have one extra.

If you can't hook up with someone with an old CPAP hose...Ipd sells a 'kit' for this method and has the new o-rings and clip included. I stow the hose back in the bag it was shipped in and save it and re-use it for my next time. I DO recommend getting yourself the Dollar-store brand plastic tranny fill funnel with the long tube to get the fluid back in. SOOOO much easier.
