I've seen a few of these threads recently so hope you don't mind me asking...... My oil pressure is fine on start-up, but once the car is warm and the revs are low eg. tickover my pressure is dropping to zero and I've had the red light flicker on a few times, when the revs are up and over 1.5/2k the pressure seems normal at about 25psi. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I'm assuming probably the sender but a bit concerned nevertheless

Weirdly I have the car serviced about 50 miles ago so hoping this problem isn't related, just a coincidence

Cheers quinny, its the top light and I thought I'd read in the manual it was for oil pressure, my bad! I'll go and check again. I saw a thread the other day about tee'ing in a more accurate gauge to check the pressure but cant find it right now
