is a messy, inaccessible job with a pump and not all the oil is extracted. Has anyone any experience of plumbing a pipe with a tap into the sump drainage plug?

Are you sure it is leaving oil in the sump? On our 2030 I measured the amount extracted and it was a litre less than the figure in the manual. But when opened the sump plug I found it was empty.

That's interesting. But it was partly the mess and inconvenience I was trying to avoid.

A Pela vacuum pump does away with all the mess. Can't avoid leaving some oil residue in the sump. Best thing we ever bought. Also works on the car!
No connection, etc.

Another vote for the Pela pump or similar, use it on the car too.

You'd need to be able to make vibration proof plumbing connections - but I envy you in having a sump plug and room to get at it! Pela's good.

Seamark Nunn do a Pela lookalike for £28. They're good

Another vote for the Pela. I've just changed the oil on my equally inaccesible 2002 using one - thirty odd quid well spent.
