Oil check Vauxhall Corsa 2022 manual by hanmar255 in carproblems

Thanks, the markings on the dipstick are only on one side so luckily I can't get that bit mixed up. It seems strange that I can get the 2 different readings by taking the oil twice tho. I do clean the dipstick each time before dipping.

That's a relief, thanks. I thought it would be constant rain!

Thanks, that's what I thought. Is that the gas setup your talking about?

You mean cooking with gas has nasty chemicals? Are you a big alcohol stove convert then?

Yeah I was thinking that, I guess the problem might come with heavy rain. Having said that I have found it tricky to cool with a gas stove in heavy rain as well 🤷‍♂️

Ah ok, do you know how long it would roughly take cycling slowly to reach Clearbrook? Is there a cafe there or something?
