Neighbour has just bought a new Disco V6, and tells me it has no dipstick. W.T.F.? Is this the way forward??? :o :o :o

Yup. A friend's S5 has this. Uses an ultrasonic sensor iirc ::)
It's so that when it (inevitably) goes wrong they can charge you many hundreds of pounds to replace it.

Thats progress for you, my Omega has something similar with the Petrol thing, has some magic contents gizmo on the dash clocks that tell you when to put more in. ;D

My CLS 500 had the dipstick as an optional extra. About £20 I think. How tight can you get. :'(
I never really trusted what the electronic readout said. It was all over the place.

I certainly would not want a vehicle without one, for all the obvious reasons. >:( :y

Agreed.'If it ain't broke don't fix it'
Much like the tax disc. A small disc in the corner of the windscreen that let's you know when you have to put your hand in your pocket. It worked, so why change it?

MFL has a gearbox dipstick

Hmmmm...I thought this was about a certain member disappearing. ;)

Ignoring the fact that you are currently busy moving into STEMO Castle :y

Our works 03 plate Vivaro van has no dipstick. Message in dash display lets you know when it needs topping up each time the ignition is turned on

Just been thinking about it, Theres a hill where I live and at the juction at the top of it the carltons either held steady or crept up the hill. When I bought my 1st omega it started to roll backwards so I tried checking the ATF fluid levels and remebered (Just now) there was'nt a dipstick. ::)

I never look at mine anyway! ::)
So a nice little gauge on the dash would be good. :y
