Yep, thats what i would do. But perhaps to the lower part of the dipstick and then check it in the morning because draining off oil is a pain in the A**E!!.

Cheers guys. And sorry - would rather know how much to put in as to avoid the potential for disaster - I don't want to see my ovlov broken.

Cheers Steve - just what I was after!

Car is doing well - done about 12k in it so far and all it has needed was both outer CV boots, which cost me about £19 in parts. Fixed the dodgy bulbs in the dash, the intermittent stereo, the ABS and the heated seat. Loving the car a lot more than I thought I ever would - it's a pleasure.
