I have, previously (before tick tick tick noise started) dipped it in when both hot and cold and always had same amount of oil on the stick.. BUT..
I dipped it today after driving 20 - 30 miles and there was
nothing on the dipstick
So, Will dip it again tomorrow (cold) And put oil in if needed.
Thanks for all the replys..
Im guessing that with the exception of the oil issue, if the other points are "fucked" then it is a mot failure?
if it is your bushes and ball joints then yes its a MOT failure but they are fairly cheap and easy to replace
