Definitely worth buying the stainless dipstick, it's a"twisted" design and fits down the tube a lot better, the plastic one always seemed to want to twist and turn as you pushed it in?

As just stayed in my "dipstick" post I may of jumped the gun regarding the Toyo manifold, I removed the PCV valve last night and I think this may of dripped some oil on the manifold so when I started the car tonight after fitting new valve there was quite a lot of smoke although it disappeared...

Actually I may of jumped the gun here, yes the manifold is a new toyo but...... I removed the PCV valve and pipe last night which has oil in and this may of dripped on the manifold, started the car tonight it may be residue burning off perhaps? I have just been back out to start up again and no...

You seem to have two noises, the one that sounds like a dead car horn is your PCV valve, see separate thread in Clio 197 area section, your other noise sounds like your manifold is blowing either on the flexis or where it attaches to the block.
