t350c oil/water fluid levels

[bubblebobble]

I am struggling to determine the correct amount oil in the resovoir.
I had the dipstick/cap made for the resovoir by tvr power (most helpful), but there are no markings on the stick.
So anyone able to measure from top of dipstick where it joins the cap to the min and max levels would be a big help. I can then just etch the lines on the stick.
Also what level should the water when cold be at in the aluminium filler resovoir?
thanks guys

I dont have a picture at the moment, however the stick is a tube that tvr power made for me, they did explain that the oil level should hit the bottom of the stick.
I would just feel a little happier if I had some sort of measurement to go at, the car hasnt been started for a while too which is why I could do with knowing the oil/water level in aluminium expansion tank.
Anybody?

Water levels - believe the expansion tank should be between half and three quarters full. I personally use the handle of a wooden spoon, with a score mark round it. Much easier than trying to peer into the tank.

As for the oil dipstick - away from home for a couple of days so can't help I am afraid.

The idea for checking the water sounds a brillant idea! I've been struggling to get into there to check it so thanks How did you go about marking it though?
