Oil pressure testing

[Mezzell]

Hello again!
I was wondering if there was anyone local(ish) to me who had the equipment to test oil pressure either electronically or mechanically?
I’m in East Sussex just 12 miles south of Gatwick.

I was at Neil's today and he sai9d that testing oil pressure on LS engines is a piece of piss!

Had mine done today through a local garage that had ‘tech 2’ diagnostics.
It’s all fine and my wayward gauge readings are through to a faulty sender that I’ve now ordered off eBay.
Worries over! Thank god!

tech 2 can only read oil pressure from that very same sender.

So did they confirm via another source that oil pressure was ok ?

Tech 2 reads oil pressure from the oem sender. It was my aftermarket gauge that was giving a low reading.

From posts I’ve read on this subject (which is a few!) the s/c does need to be removed to gain access. I’ve heard of people having them near the filter but not the case with my car. The oem switch and the aftermarket one are adjacent. I’ve ordered a new aftermarket one and I’m not looking forward to fitting it!!
