Anyone else had the silly problem of your car telling you that you have no oil when you start it up due to the bit where your 5 wee half eggs are normally and you turn the car on and they are gone and its flashing a crap load!?? even when you have a goood amount of oil in your car or just me?

those displays are awful for showing the correct oil level, just use the dipstick to check

Later BSI software versions are better 
Everytime I check the level on the dipstick it always agrees with the gauge on the dash.
