Thanks Jason,

I'll check them out.

If anyone has a dipstick from that type of engine, could you measure it for me? Then I'll know what size I need.

Best wishes, Schmood

We've had so much hassle with them, it's been a nightmare. After a lot of badgering, they did eventually replace the lost dipstick, but with this short one, and I've got to the stage where I just don't want to deal with them anymore.

Does size matter if you're a dipstick??

Can you help? I had my 1900cc air-cooled VW Devon type 25 restored, and the cheeky people who did it mislaid my original dipstick.

Thanks for all your advice - these folding wingies are new ones!! The old ones were immovable, but once positioned at least you could see out of the bits that still had a mirrored surface left. Now all I can see is my paintwork and the tarmac rushing past at great speed! I will try taking them off a...

Me wing mirrors are loose ... Help!!

Can anybody help. My nearside wing mirror slowly folds in as I drive so that I can't use it. Obviously its wind resistence caused by my excessive speed! :wink: I've tightened the screws on the mirrors foot holding it to the van body, and although this has slowed it down, the mirror eventually still ...
