[QUOTE="matty74, post: 585218, member: 21991"] I fitted a Save My Bug but fitted a male female spade connector at probe end to detach it easily when checking oil .. I have kept the original dipstick in the engine bay so I can check the oil more accurately. As for the calibration, the spring is pretty much opposite [180 degrees] to the contact when cold, so it's fairly easy to check that it hasn't been knocked when the probe is removed, plus I've glued the collar so that it doesn't swivel as recommended on the SMB site. Used it to great effect driving up to Carlisle at Christmas, 4 adults + Dog + Presents etc so fully laden, light started to flicker when pushing a little too hard, so eased off slightly until things cooled down.
