And no, you don't have to be "lucky" old mate to get a good one ... you are unlucky to get a bad one ...

But we're onto it and trying to assist with the hair loss prevention program!! lol

Thanks very much, I really appreciate the efforts.

Regarding my problems with the dipstick, I have seen posts by others mentioning similar difficulties getting an accurate reading, though not sure if they were on this forum. I didn't take much notice of the specific content of these posts at the time, but they gave me the impression that it may be a known common issue. I'm more inclined to believe now though that the wrong length dipstick is more likely, though I appear to have a matching 'set'.

I apologise, I shouldn't have 'dissed' all autos, I'm just frustrated with mine.
