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.
Nice looking car

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

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.

You appear to have a very similar radio to mine!
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

Lol @ you always putting it in Low to take photos, I used to do that with mine (and still will when it's back on the road
)
It looks a bit high at the front - does it need a fiddle with the height corrector?

Everyone puts their car in low to photograph it!
(then panics like mad because the struts are too sticky to get it back up again
)
