Morning all.With the Tuscan having very limited access to the engine bay.How do you check the oil? I know you can check a few other things via the service bonnet.I've not got the car yet,and never having owned a Tuscan before i'm intrigued. scratchchin

Oil, water ,power steering & window screen wash checking/filling are all accessible via the service bonnet.

Although the main bonnet is off in this photo the oil/water & PS cap can be seen at the front of the engine bay and accessed with the service bonnet up.

Thanks for that.Can't see a dip stick.Or does it have a container that has a dip stick built into the screww top lid?

It's a screw top with the measuring stick attached.

Yes the dip stick is attached to the underside of the screw cap. At which point the oil is to be checked and whether the cap is to be screwed back in often seems under debate so read the hand book (which is not extensive) in advance..

The oil tank cap has the dipstick fitted to it. If you look on the Leven site under engine caps there is a picture of the said cap with dipstick.
