    On the issue with the finance, regardless of the car's situation that is your liability. If you get a payout from your insurance or shell, you may choose to buy a new car with that, or get yours repaired if possible, but the finance company will still want the remainder of their balance paying, whether thats continuing with the monthly figure or clearing the debt with the money paid out.

    I hope you get shell to admit their mistakes and rectify this situation. Personally i wouldnt trust anyone to touch my dipstick, I'm the only one who goes anywhere near it...

    Stamps are for Mum, she mixes up flour and water to stick in the ones we found on windy days, when they've no 'stick' left.

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Indeed, and some cars have no dipstick at all - I wonder what they would have said then?
