You dipstick!Originally posted by blacky
See if someone local can lead you yours to check the level, then plug the hole till you get a new one. Your'll probably have to go to Toyota to get one, or find a 2.4 deisel motor in a sc rapyard.
(PS, your not alone..........

If you have a mooch under the bonnet you (if you have a 2.4L) will probably find that it is on top of the air con rad. Every thing I dropped ended up there anyway.It's only a hobby!Comment

There's a guy breaking a V6 on eBay. Loads of bits available, and there's a shot of the engine showing a little yellow-tipped stick...

I know this is a petrol V6, and yours is a diesel, but I thought you may wanna contact the guy and see. If he only wants a couple of quid for the stick it may be worth a shot. Good luck buddy._______

Order one from Toyota. I reckon you will be able to use the transmission dip stick, at least you will see if there is oil in the sump?Comment
