cheers mate

would that make the oil pressure gauge be temperamental?

this morning i got to work and the oil light and engine temperature light came on but then went out

the engine temperature was fine

what is causing them to come on at the same time as i would have thought that they would run on seperate wiring


somebody please help im confused lol

Could be a short on the plastic printed circuit board in the dials, i've seen corroded ones before

ah ok and to do that is a compelete dash out job i take it?

[Lunner]

Easier than dash out, top dash off and shroud round steering wheel off and panal under steering wheel, only takes 15 mins, if that

ah ok cheers mate

i could kinda kill 2 birds with one stone doing that as the oil pressure gauge is tempermental to

if its not corroded what else could it be?

I'd then check all the wiring through the engine bay etc back to the sensors. If no damage to the wires check the connections to the sensors.

But with them both coming on at the same time i'd go for corroded clocks or rubbing wires
