    I had this happen once on a Lancia volumex, but that had a long plasticky spindley nitemare dipstick!

    How the hell can it break a solid Z dipstick?!

    Does the engine sound sweet? Could u have bent/twisted/weakened the dipstick while its been out laying around?

    Bloody hell! That sound nasty. I've never actually paid much thought to where the dipstick actually sits in the sump. I suppose it must come close to something. I just hope your dipstick was bent beforehand and nothing else.

    Me too m8, the dipstick sits very close to one of the crank counter weights, so i'm guessing thats what caused it.

     

    I did a search and came across this on an other forum http://www.zcar.com/forums/read.php?f=3&i=122984&t=122984#reply_122984
