If you have got no m8's etc in a garage with a mechanical gauge to help you out just book it in at a local garage for a check ASAPThumbs up
This will 100% tell you if you have got an expensive bill/rebuild on the wayThumbs down
Could also be the oil pick up in the sump blockedWink
If someone has used too much sealant somewhere on the eng(sump,cam carriers,cam covers etc)the excess can get in the sump then get sucked into the oil pick upThumbs down

This is normally a sign of engine wear in the bearings/pump especially as you have changed oil/sensors etc.

Putting an oil cooler on will cause a small drop in pressure due to the extra work for the pump but shouldn't bring on the low pressure switch. What is the low pressure rating on the switches for these engines, 1bar?, 1/2bar?

Get a pressure check done for piece of mind.


Oil temp would go through the roof if there was a presure problem ? No ?

Not neccessarily. When the big ends go then yes but if everything is worn slightly then it may run a tad hotter but not overly hot (unless you rag it some)

Yup indeed, the light went out as soon as the throttle moves ? And to be fair after a drive it had stopped doing it even at idle ?

Could be a gremlin in the system seeing as I have had everything unplugged etc ? And these are French electrics LOL

Could it be something to do with charging?

I'm wondering if you may be seeing ignition light's flickering.

Have you tried what I said unplugging the sensor?

But it's only done it since I have changed a few things ? If it had just come on without me fecking about with anything then I would be a little more worried Yes

Ok so took the car for a spin tonight on my private road Whistle Ripped through the gers getting up to 120 - 130 mph , oil stayed around 90 even with giving it plenty of large (cooler doing its joCool water stayed at 80 to 90.

Fecking lights still flickering a little on tick over and between gear changes if revs drop down to under a grand ?

I'm stumped ? I'll get the presure checked but pretty sure it's something to do with the pulley ?

Definitely get the pressure checked out Chris, this will tell you so much more about what the actual issue could be, I must admit it doesn't sound too serious if you've been doing that with it. Smile

Engine tapping will be down to lack of oil/oil pressure. Is is definitely tapping and not knocking?

Does it tap worse under load or on trailing throttle? Have a look at your oil under a really bright (cree led if you have one) torch. Can you see sparkly bits? If yes its expensiveThumbs down

Indeed but it seems fine all the way home all be it with a dodgy starter motor. I think there is a funny lifter as it taps for a few seconds after each time it gets started ? Then it goes away? Defo no bottom end knock. Did a few laps of the track before the brakes went off - I was mostly in the way of everything else as everyone seemed to fully track spec except me Sad

Plus my rear beam ain't great and road tyres are just balls on track Yes arse end was all over the place and needs sorting out Yes

Just not sure I can be arsed to go through the whole job of track specking a car again + the expense No
