Just tried to check the oil in my wife's Citroen C3 1.4HDi Diesel and found the bottom 5cm of the dipstick (the bit with the oil graduations) missing. It seems to have just broken off.
Should I just get a new dipstick and not worry about the old bit or should I get the bottom taken off the engine and get the old bit removed?

Just to confirm - the dipstick is made of Plastic
Leave it. Just buy another dipstick Chances are that the broken piece will harmlessly remain in the sump. Mike.
It'll probably lie harmlessly in the bottom of the sump and if it were my car I'd ignore it.
