Dipstick for Zetec?
Does anyone know where i can get a dipstick for a 2.0 Zetec black top, mine is broke and scrap yard wont sell one without the engine- £200 for a
dipstick is a bit steep.

I need one too, plastic bit broke just above the tube. Fords are silly money, so interested in any responses.

Try the local Ford dealer. I have always found them more reasonable than expected for parts.
Raceline quote £17 on their website for a dipstick and dipstick tube

No its the dipstick that broke - the plastic part which holds the seal on is buggereried.

The dipstick on my old engine broke in the same place, I made a new handle from a bit of ally bar and riveted it on.
