how does this work?? is it on a vacuum??? and if so is it possible to put the vacuum pipes on the wrong way so pressure goes down when revs increase??? as thats what mines doing and has been for aslong as i have had the car, so over 2 years now of hard abuse, and surely if there was a problem then it would of blown up by now???

yeh ive never really took notice of the dials tbh as ive heard they read what they want, how much would it cost me to get my oil pressure checked by a garage??

Yeah less than an hour, but they will charge you for an hour.

Make sure they measure it at 80 degress at 3000 revs and at idle at 80 degrees.
