Finished servicing the williams on Sunday (up till then I had only driven it once before). Started it up and the oil pressure gauge went up to 5 bar then eventually fell to about 2, but if I reved it or drove (only up to 10mph in a service road as not road legal till today) it kept shooting up and then dropping back down again. It was very much related to the throtle pedal!
Is this normal or have a broke something :(
Am planning to collect it from where it is stored tonight and start driving it daily and don't want to end up on the back of an RAC truck in the first week of using it.
Thanks

Normal ish,
Mine stars on 5-6 when cold then drops to 2 on tick over then stays around 3-4 when driving. Only worry when the reading is low all the time :shock:

Sounds perfectly normal to me as well.

Ok - Thanks I was a bit worried the way it was going between 2 and 5 when I revved it.
I will see how it goes tonight :)
