Excellent, sounds like a good plan. Good luck to you mate.

got my car and all is well nothing wrong with it got it all sorted, i did take it back to another dagenham motor dealer ship in uxbridge instead of sthitty old staines

they show me what was wrong,
the shape of the dipstick tube was too small at the bottom and would force the dip stick to hide in a little space just behind the dipstick tube( hard to explane in words lol)

but all is well and its now purrrring little a little pussy cat and i am looking forward to the advace driving day

All's well what ends well.
Still it's strange how these things can happen. Was the dipstick tube damaged to make it too small or are they designed like that? I'm afraid to pull it out now and check my oil level now.

na it was a fault with mine, that all a one off case

G;ad to hear it's sorted mate.
