Hi folks one for the fiddlers be careful when checking your oil then removing the engine cover....because you might just snap the dip stick in the shaft. ....yes that was me.....did a 5 minute rant looking for something to kick. Collected my thoughts then went to investigate luck would have it the tube is split and you are able to remove a 10mm nut and the tube is fitted with a rubber grommet allowing me to remove it and ensure it won't do any damage until I get a new one ordered. ....if it could happen to anyone it would happen to me !!!!
