David,
The Tecalemit system is similar to the Luvax-Bijur one on your Rover 12. The system is served by the vacuum in the inlet manifold and activated by a button on the dashboard. A shot once a week is recommended. As on yours, no grease nipples.
Further investigation suggests the oil could well be SAE 140, already in the reservoir.
Interestingly I contacted Tecalemit advising of their '20's system on the car, thinking they might be interested and asking what oil they would recommend. One first count they showed no interest and on the second, recommended hydraulic oil! So much for their technical expertise.
I use a Wanner to fill the rear axle on my Brooklands...the access hole being obscured by the body work / floor pan.
