Using a long piece of hose with a funnel on the end, filling through the 
speedo cable inlet on top of the box is one way of doing it.  Once you lift 
the coolant header bottle off its bracket, access is pretty easy.
The hardest part is getting the cable out: it's a single 11mm bolt which 
holds the cable in the box.  Once the bolt is undone, some GENTLE persuasion 
with a flat blade screwdriver should slide the clamp up the cable. 
Underneath the clamp is a circular push-fit flange which fits snugly into 
the box casing - the diagram below is a pretty gross cross section of the 
cable/flange/box.  Again, GENTLE persuasion with a screwdriver should lift 
it out.
