hi again! lol

oil light and pressure drops to zero for now and again for less than a second, only just started happening and only does it now and again..

called independent they said most likely the spring has got tired and needs a new one...

so as i now dont want to risk starting/driving it incase it all goes tits up how easy is it to replace?

ive got the spring being shipped out to me, and i know its on the right hand side of the block near the filter.... anyone done this??

Is your oil up to the "max" mark ?

If not, mine does it aswell, when I'm getting close to the "fill up" mark, normally when turning left.

Keep oil topped to max at all times dont allow it to go so low.

You're low on oil, unlikely to be anything to do with the pressure relief spring.
