dipstick

[Daftpunk]

Hi, call me the village idiot, but I went to check the oil in my 1989 T25 but couldn't because of the position of the engine, there was not enough space between the dipstick and the back of the van to pull the dipstick fully out. any ideas?

Opened the flap?

what engine have you got ?
All original engines the dipstick is accessed through the flap behind the numberplate
if you can't get at it this way then assume it's a non original engine and you will have to access via the engine hatch, or it's some sort of bodge-up on an original engine

seen dipsticks installed incorrectly or bent.

As said what engine?

It’s a 1.9 Petrol. I didn’t know there was a flap by the number plate, thanks I’ll check it out.

Check your coolant level whilst you are there.

Yes I am the village idiot, I found the flap behind the number plate.

Best check your hydraulic fluid and screen wash too.

Which of course are well hidden in other areas of the van!
