Hi i have absolutely no reading on the oil pressure gauge which makes me feel a bit better as the car was used today for about 20mins without any other signs or a problem, if i genuinely had no oil pressure the engine would surely seize or least show signs of stress such as heat etc first.

Thanks for telling where the sender is though, i will order another one and then just replace it and check wiring etc etc at the same time. I am gradually changing all parts i can as i go along, so far starter, alternator, fuel return line. New alarm.
Next steps were going to be coil, fuel pump, HT leads cap etc.

just purchased a battery brain isolator as well to be fitted soon and will be ordering a hot start kit ASAP as had that issue already.

Cheers Si
I very much doubt it is the sender - check the connector first.

It will be because your car is a turd. (thought I would stick with what your limited vocabulary can stand)

Oh, its sure not shaw.
