A lot of detail missing. For one what model ? For two the wheel size does not make sense. I have been told on my model that the wheel diameter has to be set? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

Hi & welcome to the forum,,as for changing the wheels that won’t make any diffence if it’s a L494 then they fit the 21’s as standard,the oil level,did you leave the car 15 minutes before checking as the oil needs to settle before it will give a reading & by putting more in you could have overfilled it now as it might have been to the full level.

Hi and welcome, pure coincidence it happened after changing wheels, have been running 275/45 x 21" SVR Wheel & Tyres on a facelift RRS1 for well over 3 years and have never had any problems or faults whatsoever plus the speedo now is more accurate than it ever was without changing the size in the CCF files.

When you say your oil level reading wasn't working how soon after stopping did you try it ? It needs time to settle. I think the advice for an accurate check is run the car to normal operational temperature, then once stopped leave for at least ten mins minimum before checking. Otherwiae a "not available" message is likely. I wish there was a manual stick but there you are. |

So the same thing happened yesterday afternoon, had driven around 20 miles at 60-70mph and out of nowhere the red triangle came up and restricted performance mode kicked in.

I have also had the oil level failure thing several times in the last two years and suspect that it is something to do with a software update that was carried out at the 2nd service- I get the red warning triangle in the dash with the message “ communication with oil level sensor lost” it doesn’t go into limp home mode though, when safe I pull over, switch off for 10 minutes and restart and can then cover thousands of miles before it comes back again. I also get a total black out of the TFT screen infrequently. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

You'll need to have the codes read before you can get a definitive answer.
