Hello and welcome - saw your other thread: think the colour of yours is Meteor Grey, one of the paint fiends will doubtless correct me in short order if I'm wrong on that.

That would be 'Gris Dolmen' same as the (sobs!) Athena. A lovely looking car that - I particularly like the uppy-downy gif type thingy! Oh and welcome

Well, yes and no. It moves up and down if that's what you mean! As you see from that photo, even well above idle the gauge doesn't show the pressure it ought to. And the oil level mode is terrible, it shows a different level every time you turn the ignition on, even if you do it two or three times in a row (hence my other post about the dipstick).
Here's some more photos I took today with my proper camera:

Aha, you'rs is jectronic whereas mine was motronic, not sure if that means the dipstck is in a different location or not, i wouldn't have thought so. The dipstick should be to the right hand side of the engine behind the back of it as you face the engine bay. The engine bay does look a little different, the oil filler cap on my car was slap bang in the middle of the engine rather than to the right hand side that yours is located.

The oil level sender works by heating up, and measuring the rate at which it cools down, which will depend on the oil level. I assume for this reason it doesn't work well on hot starts, or shortly after starting.
yes Matt, it's pretty much the same radio. I never use it! Total shite - unless I'm being a real dumbass, I cannot figure out how to get it to scan up/down the band. On all other car and home radios I've had, you either press a certain button to scan up/down to the next station, or press and hold. On this one, the up/down buttons switch through the presets and the left/right goes up and down the band. holding it in moves you up/down until you let go, not until it finds a station. Plus the speakers are totally shizzle.
Anyway, here is a pic I took today - I deemed it cool enough to post
