Actually frustration is a gross understatement to how I'm feeling right now.
All ready to put fluids back into the car to start it up and this stupid tube for the engine oil dipstick came out of the engine.
[DELETED: a huge rant on why I hate this car]
So this is what I think the dipstick tube goes into. I've removed the bolts from the exhaust shields and let it slide down a bit. You can just make out a hole in the engine. For the sake of orientation, the first two pictures were taken looking down the tube. The last two were taken with my head resting on the tie rod. The hole is not visible in the first picture. There seems to be 2 threads in the hole.
Does anyone know if this is the right place? Will it just go in if I try to push it back in? I'll have to wait till the weekend to get a friend to come round and help me with it. Someone to push the tube, and someone to guide it from under the car.
SOLVED: A very big thanks to John Testrake for the photos.
