Strange electrical faults do crop up on the C3. It could be due to any number of things.

Have you had the car from new and know its repair history? Or has the car been crash damaged and repaired or just not well looked after and had unofficial repairs done to it?

The automatic oil level testing can only work on level ground and will only check at start-up. If you lost oil after start-up or were not on level ground when starting then the oil check won't be accurate. Its good to test the dip stick every so often ayway.

Does the side light actually work or not?
