Title: Low oil pressure warnings
Post by: Lukesgti on February 23, 2013, 10:20:26 pm: Last night on my way home from Manchester my dash board lit up with low oil pressure warning light the car has been back in about two month ago for this problem an was all fine till now :jumping:, managed to get it to a garage this morning and I started work on it I took the sump off an the pick up filter in the sump was blocked to the stage where only drops were coming through after cleaning it and putting back together and erasing errors all seems good drove it for about two hours tonight on a spirited run one would say and no more errors thought I'd share in case anyone else was having the same problem.

Do you know if long life oil has been used at service time?
