As I was checking my screen wash, coolant, and oil I managed to snap the dip stick in half on the plastic bit that measures the amount of oil you have. So I took it out and cleaned it. Put it back in and on taking out to see how much was on it I heard a snap and when taking it out I noticed the measurement section was significantly smaller. Its due its MOT and service so will they be able to replace it or not? Also can it fail it is it doesnt have a full Dip Stick?
Cheers
Luke

Dipstick tube off and retrieve (harder)
Sump off and pull out (easier but more work)

I got one a couple of years back. From what I remember it was less than £10
I think most of the ones on ebay are around the same price.
There are loads of 206 lumps running around with the plastic tip in the sump. It should be caught in the filtration system before it can do any damage.

I bought one from a scrap yard (It looked practically brand new), got it for free because I'd bought other stuff as well, try those first before you go to a dealer!

Dealers ones are roughly £10.04 for the common one (117475) but if you go to a scrapyard you may pick up the wrong one as they're different part numbers depending on the engines, but what the differences between them are I cannot be sure of.
