Why does a very simple post stating that Nikon UK have offered to clean my recently new D700 camera body keep being deleted?
Is this Communist China ( or the new Conservative Party ) or something?
Let people read the facts!

Possibly because you keep putting petty and immature political comments in the posts? Or getting rather aggressive "So watch out next time you post boys ... a little thing called 'discovery' may well uncover your identities in the months to come. "

Or maybe it's because you're claiming a product is defective when really, it's just dirty. Shooting at f16 tends to show every speck of dust in a lens and on a sensor. That fact is, your sensor or lens was dirty, not spraying oil.
You could fix most of the problem yourself by blowing off the sensor (don't use canned air).
On film, you didn't have an issue of dust unless it was in the lens. Every shot you took, the recording medium was changed. Now, dust is a major factor. You'll have the same problem with any other DSLR, Canon, Sony, etc.
As somebody else said, $30 is not bad for a sensor cleaning.

How can you tell the problem is caused by oil and not dust? In the other thread you wrote that your camera is about 6 months old, but you did not tell how much is was used during that time. My D700 is about one year old and has got only 3500 shots taken. Some people do that during one weekend. The more often the shutter is used the more chances of dust getting on the sensor.
You also wrote that you had the same lens on all the time but I assume that you are aware that this does not mean that the combination is air and especially dust-tight. It just reduces the chances of dust getting into the camera.
I only use prime lenses so I need to change quite often. I set the camera to start the sensor cleaning always when the camera is turned on. In some cases I did have some problems with dust but not much.
Please also bear in mind that the people at tech support cannot tell from the image if this is dust (most likely) or really oil (less likely). So they do the obvious thing and offer a sensor cleaning...

It is another thing to tell the OP he is factually incorrect when you have no knowledge of the situation.
Oil-flinging shutter blades is unfortunately a not-rare-enough defect of Nikon cameras of the D700's epoch.

If some ( forum-user ) is going to suggest I put oil on the sensor myself, I can't help but wonder as to their motives and affiliations.
Anyway ... I just bought another one ( Nikon D700 camera body number 2 ) so it will be interesting to see what happens next.
And for anyone who's interested, my very experienced lawyer-friend ( who rarely loses a case ) suggests a group of six or eight people experiencing similar issues could band together and stand a reasonable chance of a successful claim ... but having been put in direct contact with Nikon UK's service manager, I'm quite prepared to try and work with the company and see how things go.

Drab, it the OP would offer a photo of people skydiving from the afflicted camera, I would happily eat my words if the problem really was oil.
Grahamf, I don't think anyone has suggested that you intentionally put oil on the sensor. Maybe accidentally if you used canned air to blow off your sensor (I'm guilty of doing that to a d200 a few years back).
As I said, if you could post a photo from the camera which shows the problem, you may find more support here.

sorry guys, closing this as I don't see a problem we can have. and no it's not china. if Nikon is offering You to clean Your sensor than be happy with it. oil spills are maybe not the common things that happen to new cameras but sometimes this can happen (especially for d3 and d700 users).
as for Your last post... well, go to Your lawyer and start Your claim. In the meantime the rest of us will go out and shoot some snaps, as that's mostly why we are here.
