Faulty oil guage ?

[sonnylad]

Last night coming home from wycombe via M25 oil pressure was same as usual at 65, but as soon as i slowed and stopped at junction it fell right down to 10 when normally 30.
Could this just be guage or something more damaging to pocket.
Started it up this morning and still the same.

Not sure as it had a new one in april at 24k miles and only just past 27k now, so seems a bit quick to have gone again.

with that sort of prob it is best to assume the worst, get it to a specialist now.

Ask them if they swapped the valve aswell (the spring sits in it), I beleive it gets scored / worn / clogged.

Don't panic yet

I take it you've checked the oil level?
