It could be the oil level indicator?

The row of o 's shows the quantity of oil in the sump when the car is level.

Thanks for the picture. I tried to get my car (2002) to emulate your display and I couldn't find what is causing it. I also had a look in my manual and didn't find anything. Its a bit of a mystery

Is this the original factory fitted speedo display unit?

Can you remember what was happening when you first noticed it?
