[vxrandy]

Hi everybody, Iam new to ro ownership i have a 6 litre vxr and just wanted to ask hopefully an easy question. where should the needle be sitting on my oil pressure gauge i have refered to the hand book which confirms i have one but nothing else (cheers vauxhall). and also my little girl last night noticed i have a green light at the top of the windscreen a few inches over to the passenger side of the car over from the mirror whats it for thats if it should be there that is. hope you can help thanks...

Most people get around 3bar at 2k revs and 2 bar at tickover. The light on the mirror is to show if you have switched the auto anti glare facility on - Chromatic mirror or something like that?

When up to temperature the needle should be right in the middle. Under load (hard acceleration etc) this will probably rise slightly.

The green light should be there. It's just an interior light of sorts. You've got green lights in the footwells also.

The light you are talking of is not on the mirror,and you don't notice it easily.
I remember someone on here talking of it before,I asked the dealer about it and never really got an answer.

Its just an interior light thats green to illuminate the centre console with a "quality" feel. White would be too harsh.

mine climbs high if i drive it hardish when cold generally goes up to 5 bar!

but when warm sits at 3 to 3.5 bar when on the gas and 2.75 on idle never been below 2.75
