I have an old style dipstick which has already snapped once and is looking like it may well do again!

Does anyone know whether it is off any other car as TVR won't sell me an old one anymore .

Surely it's off something?

Look pretty unique to me. I guess you could either get another one made by an engineering firm, or maybe find a car that has a flexible dipstick of the same length.

Or try a breakers like Bell Hill.

you could try

www.bellhillgarage.co.uk/ or

www.douglasvalley.co.uk/

failing that, start eating boxes of fab lollies until you have neough sticks to make one

Was really hoping they'd nicked it of one of the Rover V8's!

I had an old sump off Douglas Valley, recently, so they're a good shout.
