anyone else have major issues trying to get a reading off these??!
mine is reading loads of oil because it all just smudges when you draw it out after wiping

Mine was the same - annoying. Check round some local scrap yards as some 8V's had all-metal dipsticks.

Plastic end snapped off? Crap design - very common.
