Few days ago picked up the cerbera. Pearl blue 4.2 1996, 24k miles, full grey hide. Quite simply the car is awesome, and really quite frightening esp. in wet. Aiming to use car as everyday transport. However first v minor "problem".....

Checking oil level (96 4.2) everything ok, try putting
the dipstick back in - it won't go back, seems like it catches on something and won't go any further.

Lots of huffing and puffing later and finally with a bit of "muscle" it rams home, oh er missus

Is this the case with all of the earlier cars? the dipstick is markedly curved as well.

Aiming to use mobil 0w/40 (as that is what I've been recommended)

Any thoughts?

OH yes, and a big thank you to all the contributors and Ted for an excellent site, there is a lot of info to be gleaned, and hence I go into cerb ownership with my eyes open.

Regards


Chris and a blue 4.2

In answer to the cost it was £18,500, from main dealer with 1yr warranty. Its has a few owners, with full history and all bills (nothing major except clutch), I know the less number of owners the better but i took a view on this...
