no dipstick, broken other one

[spottedhaggis]

hey all,

I wanted to do the sevrice on my car myself insted of going to the garage. I got hold of a pump to suck out the oil, but of course like so many I dont have an actual dipstick, and when I look for the place where the small dipstick I have heard others talk about , I can see there was something there but whatever it was its bust, there is a little bit of yellow plastic, but nothing to actually get hold of. And the metal plate over what I assume is the dipstick hole looks like its been tacked on.

Any other way to suck out the oil at all or am I biggered and have to do it from underneath.

Assuming I do have to do it from underneath, I cant put the cr up level on a ramp, I have a trolly jack and 2 axle stands, what would you suggest in regards lifting the car for the oil drain.
