Graham,
my Mecr has no dipstick anywhere so I hope you aren't suggesting anything.

By the way on BMW in my other post I mentioned mist as the m in bmw, this is what comes from the back end of cows and is how man germans think of BMW particluarly in winter.

When I lived in Bavaria (86 to 89) there two great positivies.
1. they delivered beer like milk. I am now trying to lose the impact of this so called "liquid bread" on my weight.
2. I had a friend I car pooled with who in Fuching West Germany (always good when asked by UK pass port control where he lived) & before his house was a tight right hander with a tree just beyond the apex. Every Monday from Nov -May i.e. when icy or worse there would be a BMW 3 series tree hugging whilst my Audi Coupe glided past.

Happy days.

John
PS the Merc is also crap in snow & ice.
