Subject: Re: oil pressure light coming up


Have you had the oil changed lately Simon ?....... If the oil is thinning out a bit, it will shift around in the sump/pan easier and may be dropping the pressure. Alternatively checkout the route that the wire from the oil pressure sender is taking, if it is bared off anywhere and earthing it will "flicker" the oil light as the car "leans" one way or the other ........Worth a look ;-) HTH Davey Johan Beikes wrote: > Simon, > > It might be quite simple.
