Today my dipstick has literally just disintegrated :oops: Not even sure how that happened...
I've seen a nice blue one on eBay, supposedly for a HDi but I want it to match my blue paint work :lol:

Is there any difference in the length of your boys diesel dipsticks to mine? Does anyone know?

There'll be differences in length, diameter, where the seals are, how flexible they are and whether the end is designed to drop off and get jammed in the tube or not.
