Hi All
Interesting thing happened
I was driving home from work yesterday (still no INSP warning) and after about 10 min, the yellow "Low Oil" (NOT No pressure) light came on.
I drove round the corner to the Vauxhall Dealer (Darlington Sherwoods), and bought some oil from the parts dept and borrowed some tissues and dipped the oil in the car park (Engine bay warning says to check oil after engine has reached operating temp and has stood for 10 min).
Oil was halfway between Min and Max. so there was plenty of oil in there, so i topped up to max - and started engine - low oil warning light goes out and is now (as i wanted) showing the INSP.
Went back in had a chat with the guy behind the parts desk and he says the "low oil warning" are very sensative ie it doesent wait until the levels drop down to the min, instead comes on when halfway.
he then came out, and checked for me that it was filled up ok, again dipping the oil to check again (very helpfull chap).
the car is now deciding it wants a service albiet it slightly after 12 months, by showing INSP when the car is started and again when the ignition is switched off - which its booked in at the end of the month.
Strange
