There are still a couple of dips that I would like to fix, is it possible to
do this with out lifting it and putting more top soil under neath it? I was
wandering if it is possible to just fill the dip with fresh top soil and let
the grass grow throug it or is it possible to put some top soil down and
then lay some fresh grass over that?

Often in the past when we have had a dip, we have dug up some sods from
somewhere else and filled the dip with them. We just put the new turves
in the dip, make them nice and soggy with water then trample them until
they become level. Amazing how quickly the dips fill in this way.
You can also fill the dips by repeatedly filling them with shallow
layers of a mixture of sharp sand and soil ie as soon as you see the
grass growing through the first layer, add another layer, but this takes
longer, obviously.
