I get a smell (oil?) when I first start the car and it goes away after a while.

I have tried to check the oil level but the dipstick, even after wiping it before testing level always comes out way above the correct level? The car is running as normal.

The headlamps have stopped working,

Although the side, rear and fog lamps still work, and the main bean can be 'flashed' Could this be a problem with a fuse? If so, which one, ie, how many amps, and where in the fuse box is this located? (There are an awful lot of fuses!)

Fumes in car

When turning on Heater, Fan, Vents we get what smells like exhaust gas in the car interior. Only way we can stop it is to lower the windows and close all vents. Local garage is baffled.
