While on holiday I started getting a "Check Oil Level" message on the computer, usually while on the motorway. I have checked the oil dipstick and it is still on max, and while I was at it the transmission fluid and both were where they should be, so why is this message appearing? Is there something else I need to check? 'm not getting any dash lights appearing and operating temp is still around the 90C mark so no issues there.
Also what dows "Low Beam Fld/ Check" mean?

Oil Warning - Could be a faulty sensor, its usually triggered when oil falls below halfway on the dip stick
Low Beam Fld/ Check - means one of your electric adjusters for the HIDs has failed.

Front N/S behind wheel, check actuator arm hasn`t popped off

Rear N/S the other one is on the trailing arm
If both OK I`d go with Tunnie`s answer

Good point i forgot about the actuator arm :y

It could well be that the immobiliser is stopping the levelling motors from working ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
PS to OP. Ignore this comment (tongue in cheek)

"Check Oil Level" happened to me in France last March driving possible a tad faster than usual on their motorways. Checked oil level and was very near the max. Topped up with a little drop and it never showed again.

I might try that Lou. The only time it comes on my mig is when I have cruise control on over 60mph (usually I cruise it at 65), otherwise it confirms my suspicions that the sensor is duff - I seem to have a few of these electrical gremlins!
Thanks for the advice re. the actuator arms. I'll check them over too in the morning, or I'll get them looked at when I have the locking solenoid replaced on the drivers door.

Regarding 'check oil level', it was a faulty sensor for me.

Well I tried Lou's suggestion of topping up the oil, but message reappeared again today, so looks like the sensor's had it. Is it a big job to change?

Once your lower sump pan is off ...... no! ;) You'll then need a tube of the Vauxhall instant gasket/glue to put it back on again with. You'll see how it comes off once the pan has been removed.

Sounds like a job for the garage at the next service then.

It's not a difficult job if you have a place where you can get your car up on ramps (& you're phyically able to get under the car ;)). There's a couple of dozen M6 bolts holding the pan on, and another couple holding the switch in place on the pan itself. :y

Cheers for that. Only 2 things stop me doing that though :( I know sod all about actually repairing cars - only diagnosing things - and my driveway is sloped!

get a Hayne's manual & ask on here what's not in the book ...... you could be asking a lot! ;D ;D - they're not that bad - honest!
& you'd need a set of Torx sockets. :y
.......
and my driveway is sloped!
If you drive down the slope & then onto a set of ramps, your car will stay level-ish! ;D

I could - but that would mean I'd be blocking our road! ;D
