Started to get this ratling sound from under the hatch when putting my right foot down. I was quite sure it was not serious, but annoying
Found that the dipsticktube was loose. Now this tube was repaired by the nechanic that installed my Paterson engine. The old tube was broken and he made a new bottom part from coppertubing. Looked allright be me. Now that I pulled it out I can see it is just copper tubing fitted with a lot of some kind of sealant. That lasted a yeat!

Pullling it out was no problem, but how do I fit it again. Without taking the header etc here at a campsite in southern France

Now see if he had tolde me this is a temp fix you should order a new tube then everything would have been fine


Sorry for the hickup. But I hav had it with this guy
