After the cam cover oil cap and dipstick for a 1600 laser pinto please!

Have you tried the usual places?

Failing that there are a couple on for bith items you're after, though the prices seem to vary a fair bit...

Cheers

Good shout! Found an oil filler cap (NOS as well!) but there appears to be two lengths of dipstick... anyone know which is which? I can’t see why they would vary between the pintos...

I believe that the 2.0 is a slightly taller engine so presumably you need the shorter dipstick for your 1600

Do you mean the dipstick is bigger on the 2.0 pinto

My dipstick tube has always been loose, is that normal?

I believe they can be pulled out so I guess loose would be possible but probably not `normal` as such? Thinks: if it can be moved up/down how do you know correct position so the stick dips correctly, is there some kind of stop/step?

(Unless I just mistook a "Carry-on" moment )

I've never moved it up and down as such (insert Sid James laugh here), but I can easily rotate it both ways. I have read the same on here from other members too, but always thought it never seemed quite normal.
