Not to sound like one but there is the dipstick on a S6 Cerby?
Need to check my oil but cant see where to check it, and there is nothing in the book.
Thanks in advance and yes i did try looking in the mirror!

Dry sump, so should be in the tank, either a sight glass or dipper on the cap.

Believe that you also need to run the engine and check it straight after turning off too.

But sure that others on here, or better still tuscan/T350 forums, could give you full instructions of the best way.

At the risk of sounding rude - be very very careful with a TVR engine and carry out VERY regular checks!
You have had the car for 2 weeks, if you have used the car regularly then really you should have checked the oil between 2 and 8 times (roughly) depending on miles , number of uses etc..... You need to get onto the S6 type forums and get all the basic maintenance / checks info and you need to follow it strictly. You dont want a 3 - 10K bill for an engine rebuild. Low oil (ie below MAX) is dodgey on a TVR and could spell bad news very quickly.
