Oil light flickering

<< < (2/3) > >>

Saffy:
How about temporarily fitting an oil pressure gauge and getting a proper reading and comparing to specifications.

LandRoger:
Sounds like a good idea ,suppose it replaces the sender in the block ,cheers Saffy (what did we do before the web?)

eugene:
have heard that a dodge filter can do this

Big G:
Its a wiring fault somewhere. Replaced the sender and checked the oil pressure. The light flickers in time with the engine so looking for a wire in the engine bay that may be shagged.

Now the Brake light fuse keeps blowing!

Looks like I`m gonna be spending some time on the wiring loom ....  :cry:

Big G:


Well I rummaged around the engine and when I tugged on the loom that runs along the side of the block (offside between the air filter holder and engine) that cured it. so at least I now know the approximate location of that fault.

Regard the brake light fuse blowing. My mate found the fault. took him four hours with his sealy continuity tester and he had the clever idea if replacing the fuse with a big headlight lamp. when the fault was located it confirmed it by the lamp glowing bighter in place of the fuse that would have just blown. Thats a trick to remember. The fault was located in the wiring just rear of the reversing light swithch on top of the gearbox housing. It had just been rubbing. spose this will be quite common now for a vehicle thats nearly fourteen years old and vibrates like Defenders do!

Thanks for loking in guys.
