Good company, not too far from you.

Thanks Pinno. Would have to check what the garage did last time or two. Will try that re the dipstick next time I think of it, though no idea when I'll next use the car. All I can say is that it was running very sweetly on 16 December when I last used it.

If it sits for long periods of time, you ought to take off the main coil to HT lead and spin the engine over for 10 seconds or so. All that oil has vacated where it needs to be and is in the sump. This process primes the oil pump. Yes I know this is a bit of a hassle but with a bit more TLC, that Japanese lump could go on indefinitely.
Ideally, you take out the plugs and then you have zero compression and are unlikely to drain the battery.
