Sort of. There's two different sorts of dip stick isn't there. The bent wire
type fitted to WR's and the flat strip fitted to MB's & RR's - perhaps they
require a different tube?
But then _both_ tubes are listed on 1-15 which is RR only, and only #054 103
634 on 1-20 (which states 'MB'), so I'd suspect that its the usual 'its in
here somewhere'.

Perhaps we shouldn't be quite so hard on the guys in parts departments when
we ask for a part for a 20 year old car.....
