Speaking of wayward objects in the sump, does the Stag have the flexible dip 
stick a la TR7?  I disassembled a TR7 motor (locked up) and found a whole 
dipstick in there, sans handle.  It seems the owner (or a service agent) broke 
the 
handle off and instead of fishing the rest out it was pushed down the tube by 
the replacement.

go figure.
