After driving around this summer the oil pressure reading has started to drop erratically. It's not losing any oil (still at top of dipstick after 6 months) so I suspect the sensor or electrics.

I've tried to replace the sensor (big black rubber sensor mounted on the LHS of the engine block) with a new unit "Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch". New unit arrives and is alot smaller than the original item. Fitted and - it's a switch. Luckily the switch indicates that the oil pressure is good, but would like the gauge to actually read oil pressure!

Anyone know where to purchase the oil pressure SENSOR - i.e. one with an analogue output suitable for the gauge?

Thanks - Richard.

Many thanks I'll get one ordered - Mine's only got one connection, but this winter's job is re-wiring the car so I'll fix a temporary wire to test and then add this into the new loom.
Cheers, Richard.
