leaking oil pressure switch

[Andrew H.]

Help!

2002 Tuscan.

1. The oil pressure switch is leaking (very slightly) - is this a common problem?

2. Is the switch a bespoke tvr part? If not can somebody advise source / part numbers please.

3. The wiring loom has two cables/ wires, cable tied to the switch - there is only one terminal on the switch?? Can somebody explain please?

Thanks

It is a common problem.

Replacements are available from:-

or

Some sensors are two wire so the second cable may be required.

mine too :-(
haven't found a cheap aftermarket one
seems to be a £70 fix
trying to repair mine just for kicks!
about a 10% chance of success
rubber bellows gets a hole in it

Thanks for the responses. Prices seem a bit steep!! £15 for the switch + £55 for the TVR part number I guess!!

Is this actually a bespoke TVR part or is it sourced from another vehicle?

Mines leaking too. Does the unit just screw out or is there a special way of sealing the new one in?

sensor on mine made by Bmi whoever they are
have searched high and low for an equiv
but to no avail...it should be a £20 part IMO
but ho hum
the sensor has a 1/8th taper pipe thread that just
screws into the adaptor block. I used some ptfe
tape and tightened to good hand tight and no more
Looks like the cap head screw on top is for bleeding
out the air after refitting
