Isn't there a kit to fit a proper dipstick to the later engines? Surely if it is an oil consumption problem, keeping it topped up with oil is a lot cheaper than a new engine! If it uses 1 litre per 1,000 miles, 50 litres of oil is only about £500.

... that is about the same rate of oil consumption as my 1976 Suzuki 2 stroke motorcycle (about 60:1 via the positive oiling system) - people give me a hard time about that leaving a trail of smoke around town :-)
