Broken Dipstick

[Nick W]

Track day tomorrow so did final checks. The dipstic end came off somewhere in the bendy pipe and made me swear more than usual. Rather than taking the tube off I cracked the oil filler open and put the vacuum hose onthe dipstick tube. BINGO! The plastic end came out with a small ammount of oil. All bits accounted for. Made a temp dipstick from a curtain hanger spring and added around 100ml of oil, which isn't much to an engine but Mrs saysit was enough to kill her hoover. Oops, I needed a new one in the workshop anyway.
Llandow here we come.

Don’t we all feel like a broken dipstick from time to time..? After yesterday’s Mexican dinner and theme-appropriate drinks, I sure do :icb: :dizzy:

OT: nice fix getting the broken bit out
