Dipstick only shows the top 0.8/1l of Oil remember, the 1*2 takes 5.1 litres in total.
So you still had around 4 litres on oil in the engine...Nothing to worry about.

I noticed a white 1 that has had the conversion at my local Ford dealers on Sunday, didnt get chance to take a close look but it looks pretty special.
I believe they even do a 370bhp conversion now.
Very unlucky sorry to hear it, best bet is a new head or even full engine from somewhere like eBay maybe ?
Not what I want to hear this either as my Aux belt pulleys are whining at the mo, hoping Fred can fit me in soon !
Good luck :)
Just been out under the car to visually check the lower idler, looks ok and doesnt sound that bad close up, still doing it job and tensioning the belt ok, it does have about 1mm or so of play in and out if you know what I mean. However much that tells me I dont know, if anything tho the main...
Any ideas folks ?
If this is Aux belt related, am I going to be ok driving it for a week or 2 until I can get it done ? Need the car for work obviously but dont want any belts snapping or the like !
