Post by: Elite Pete on 04 August 2008, 16:02:24

Quite rare I think, took me ages to find one.

I used to have a broken one when I first got the car.  ;)

Used to have the little yellow cap without the dipstick (as it wasn't there when I got it), but lost that now too :(

Being serious for a minute.  ;D
I assume I now have the correct filler cap for the car, ie just the cap with a ring around the neck to keep it in place. Why would you need a dipstick when you have a low level switch?  :-/
Senator had the same as I now have.

Both my ones have lost the dipstick bit.

Never use much screenwash anyway, and it gets topped up when I do my weekly checks every month ::)

Mine is intact but - I rely on the in car systems to tell me when screenwash is low!

have mine on the elite, had one on the GLS. the current one is in place and complete, the GLS's one was mangled by whoever shut the bonnet on it, and it had been left trapped for a while

i put it in a jug of boiling water and softened it up, reshaped it and put it back on. good as new :y

I have one, why a dipstick on it though, if you are lifting it you are filling it up anyway.

i had one on my first elite, but stupidly let it go to the breakers when it was written off! thought i'd miss it on the new one but nah..

my latest has the end of it but most of the dipstick is lost. as others have said it seems redundant thanks to the incar check. oh and the visual check of watching for foam when filling the thing up !! :)

Mine's still present but from the shape of it, it's suffering from a wee bit of brewers droop :D

Lost mine about a month ago, and the broken stick laided right under the pumps so i couldn't use the washers till i got the dipstick bit out >:(
