Hi, just had major service, not much required, couple of rubber cv gaitors and a seal but otherwise car reported as sound. Asked mechanic to replace oil level sensor. About ten hours labour including the work to replace gaitors but alas the boxster is still showing a flashing display. Diagnostics still report oil sensor fault. porsche dealership consulted. They have 03 boxster s showing same fault after sensor replaced. They say they are going to replace digital display on that car. Cost about $1500 for part. My mechanic suggested taking to digital display tech. Anyone had any experience of this. Glad I've still got a dipstick on my car. Alan
