Fixed it yet ?;)
Nope! Just waiting for my collars to arrive from eBay! Don't seem to be losing a lot of oil so ok until they arrive.
Forgot to post back - it's now done. All went well, had a bit of a problem getting the old remains off, ended up having to 'chisel' down the side of the dipstick tube to slice it off but ok in the end.
Followed Lex's instructions and worked really well, thanks for that. The only thing I've noticed is that the collar is slightly looser than the old one and can be rotated in the top of the tube (may affix itself with a bit of wear/tear/dirt). It certainly won't come off though as the dipstick is a fairly snug fit and tried taking it in and out half a dozen times and the collar stayed put so happy with that!
Thanks again.
Always nice to get the feedback. Glad it's all worked out.
