Start up car, and as its idling the oil pressure drops to zero. Obviously turn the engine off straight away. No oil warning light.

5 min chat to Nick Hill and he told me probably just the oil sender unit being faulty. So i drive it and the guage pics up again and seems fine now.

Obviously after what happened to The Jesus i wasnt going to risk it.

Horrible feeling when you think somethings about to go bang.

I didnt think it was oil pump as ive just had a new one, but you never know whats going on in these engines. Thought it better safe than sorry to just turn it off.
