The oil dipstick in my Mini Cooper S (2005) has broken and I was wondering how do I go about getting a new dipstick??

 

It's not stuck in the engine or anything, so all I'm looking for is a replacement?

 

Any responses would be much appreciated.

Visit your friendly local BMW Mini garage with a fist full of £'s?

I bought one last year....BMW ones are only £15...not worth buying after market..

I feel left out, 58 reg 35k miles still on its first, maybe its because I never check the oil?! We can thank the French for that stupid tube that goes around a bend to fit it in anyway, hence why French cars are banned at my house, lol.

BIt like the Peugeot ones then .. head to replace a couple of them! But same story, cheaper from dealer than OEM or fleabay!

The VW ones are better because they're easier to replace......only because the whole thing, tube and all, snaps off. Why would you make such rubbish, s'pose it suits the rest of the car.
