That is definitely a bit worrying!
Thats 2 people on here now that seem to have experienced dodgy oil level sensors. It is one sensor that needs to work and give accurate results.

Which can? It says Longlife 03 or Longlife 04 I believe which I understand relates to LL03 and LL04 respectively.

Managed to buy a 4-Litre jar of Edge TD 0W30 for £23.50 including carriage on ebay. Should provide top-ups for both cars for the near future hopefully.

That's excellent, I paid about 14 quid for one litre from Halfrauds.
Is it legit ?

My dealer is 'kind' enough to place an oil top up pack in my car prior to delivery. the oil bottle is nicely packaged in a 'leatherette pouch' with dipstick and hand wipes. Isn't that generous ??? At least I thought so until I saw the £15 addition on my invoice ! (That was for my previous 320d and I expect the same for the 335d)
