Oil pressure problems again HELP
Firstly I thought I needed to change the engine due to it rattling like a bag of spanners. I firstly changed the 2 oil pressure switches but after looking on previous forums about this the wires looked the wrong colour to each of the switches but the way the loom is rooted this is the only way it can be.
I then changed the oil pump as well as cleaning the pick up and also removed the rocker cover and cleaned the inlet breather and gauze filter. Now the engine runs quieter for a 20 year old motor anyway.
The light and buzzer were still on the top end is getting pressure as after removing the filler cap oil can be seen spraying in it.
But still no joy.
I then removed the speedo head and found a broken solder on the circuit board which I re-soldered but again still no joy.
I am at my whits end to what else it can be i have a vdo pressure guage to double check the oil pressure physically tomorrow but failing that i haven't got a clue.
Can replacement printed boards be bought or i could try another speedo head from a friends mk2
your help with this matter would be much appreciated

double check on the loom, as the two switches are different and do different jobs, ones low presuure and the others something esle, (i forget what, but 1.8bar spings to mind…..)
