Hi All - feel a bit of a dipstick asking this............ supposed to be heading off next weekend for 2 weeks with the FF and tin tent, was giving it a checkover today - water, oil etc - pulled out the dipstick to check the oil, but struggled to get it back in again, gave up. Done a bit of googling - tube is all ok etc but what I have noticed is the plastic, pointy end of my dipstick is no longer there and looks to have fallen off, assuming when I pulled it out. Hence the reason the now flat metal end is catching when I try and push it down the tube.
Checked the rag I used to clean ii when it came out and its not in there, wishful thinking....... Assuming getting a new dipstick wont be a problem but concerned if the little plastic end is in the sump somewhere - any advice? was thinking drain the oil in the hope I get it that way.
Thanks
