cheers guys and massive thanks again to the mad mechanic  :y

yeah got a bit lucky with the dipstick..... put it in roughly where I thought it should go, gave it a wiggle and it went in the hole  :) bit of bashing with a hammer on a block of wood to get it in..... job done  :y :y :y

its soooo very nearly done. got to get the aux belt tensioner off as I think the front cambelt cover needs replacing as its rubbing against the tensioner.... think it got warped when it got hot. lucky I have a spare  :y

so...... downpipe bolts. then all the bits at the front. and its ready to start  :y :y :y

You've only had 1 go. I've proved myself to be a failure twice ;D
