Me again.......lol I have been tinkering under the bonnet (not necessarily a good idea) and have discovered 2 wires that lead to the oil light switch. With one attached the oil light stays on, with the other attached the oil light is off. Confused?  ?? so am I!!!!! Both wires seem to originate from the same place, but which one is faulty? ? Any suggestions would be helpful as I am reluctant to take the car too far with potential problems and Jake is desparate to go on a long drive. The car seems to be driving ok and engine sounds the same as normal. Thanks for looking Rachel ;D |

I have sorted out the wire problem, and the light is definitely on. Next job is to change the oil pressure switch and oil pressure valve.
Wish me luck. Hee hee!!
