oil light when warm
When warm the oil light starts to flicker then comes on and flashes,(only when warm). also the oil buzzer starts to sound and flash over 3000 revs,(again only when warm).
I have changed the low and high oil pressure sensors but its still happening, anyone have any ideas?????

work, my next step is check the oil pick up (clean it etc) failing that change the oil pump £40.
Failing that pull clocks out check back of binnacle for damage etc, cant be anything else as
far as I know.

Dropped the sump tonight to find the pick up absolutely caked in gunge, barelyletting oil through, so removed the pump complete and stripped down, BE VERY CAREFUL when taking the baffle off as the 4 clips that hold it are quite brittle, I snapped 2, luckily I have a mate locally that used to break Mk 1s and he had a spare which only had 3 clips but atleast it got me going again.
If you want to get into the ins and outs of the oil pump check then I can post up the details or pm you no probs, to cut a long story short basically I stripped it cleaned it, checked it, rebuilt it and it seems ok now I had it running and took it out for a drive, let it get really hot and it seems fine, not a murmurs.

Have taken the pipe off with the wire gauze inside, any ideas how I get it out to give it a clean? Or is it a new one that's required??

Now you have gone this far are you going to check the backlash on the oil pump and also the gap between the cogs and closing plate?if you need the info on how to do it then just let me know, it is in the brown haynes manual.

Reading up it could lead to cam bearings and all sorts of major engine overhauls! Let's see what happens.
