Just returned home from santa pod, a small(i hope)problem developed on the way there, and seems to have got a little bit worse on the way home, here's what happens...... acccelerating quite hard up to 5K,then the warning beeper goes off along with "Oil Presure warning " comes on, and only goes off if i decelerate slightly, it does this in every gear, even top gear when i was cruising at
around 110.
I have now had 4 oil presure censor's on the car, and actually hope that the problem is nothing more than yet another duff censor!! So i just wondered if anyone else with a sp6 engine might have had this?.
Yes i have checked the oil, and its fine.

Ditto, as soon as I hit the 5k mark it would come up with a warning - new sensor solved the problem.

Step 1 - turn the volume down to its lowest setting. Am I the only one who hates the indicator and other warning beeps? I know when my indicators are on, the dash tells me the rest.

Step 2 - I hope it is the sensor (note spelling).

Step 3 - Drive away from dealer with that trademarked TVR grin

Scared the crap out of me the first time it happened.It was just as I backed off after an M3 and i had been having fun.Thought I'd broken it! After around 6 senders later I have one that works.

It seems as if we have a sensor problem Dave.

Car is running at 3 psi apparently...

In on Thursday for a service probably see yours there?
