Is it?

I've looked all around the area of the oil filter and can't see anything which might be a sender. I haven't looked from underneath yet though. I was trying to avoid doing that unless it was definitely under there.

Mind you, the car (the Tasmin) doesn't appear to have an oil warning light. It does have a seat belt warning light, but no pressure switches in the seats. So I was wondering if good old TVR used the seat belt light for the oil light just as on the V8S my 'MIL' light is the oil light.

Thanks Dave, very helpful thumbup

Hyperlinks? Easypeasey...

Type [ , then type 'url' , then type ] , then type your word eg "LIKE THIS" , then type | , then cut & paste your target url to here , then type [/url] . Put it all together and it looks like this...

[u*l]LIKE THIS|http://www.ebay.com/itm/181762431983?clk_rvr_id=1115655270858&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true[/url]

I've deliberately miss-typed [u*l] to stop the link working and so you can see what it should look like.

It's a lot easier just to copy & paste the URL though laugh

..I've ordered my fair share of tat from China (via Ebay) over the years and everything has arrived to be fair thumbup...
I've ordered quite a lot of stuff as well and delivery times vary considerably from days to weeks. It seems some of the Chinese suppliers now keep stock in Europe (Holland seems common and one thing came from Southampton!) and this turns up very quickly. Delivery times on the stuff from mainland China are unpredictable.

My most amazing delivery recently was from RS Components. A few quids worth of connectors on free delivery turned up the following morning by Parcelforce 24 hour deliver. Mind you, he arrived at 7.20am which wasn't that great laugh

Mine arrived yesterday. Ordered on 9th November, so that's a pretty good delivery time. No time to fit at the moment though.
