996 c4s oil pressure warning light - shite

I don't know if this is a common experience........????????????

Coming off the motorway last Friday and go onto a backroad. Taking a corner at 80 mph and hear a bleep, glance at the OBC and oil pressure warning light on. Big panic, brown trousers and glance at the pressure gauge on RHS of dash - needle at 0Bar then back up to 3.5.

I stopped the car, said 3 hail mary's, checked the oil level - fine. I started the engine and the car runs as sweet as a nut back home slowly for 3 miles.

Long story short, faulty pressure gauge but a big frightener. OPC Edinburgh claim it is the first time they have seen it and ironically the car was booked in on Monday for a service. I had the car transported over to them on delivery truck.

Car back today alive and well and £800 lighter as it was a 4 year service plus additional parts. Amazing scene today at OPC Edinburgh as 2 Carerra GTs were delivered back to the centre after some work at Reading. Exhaust note was wonderful
