Faulty oil sender replace both [there are a high and low one] , how do you no you have pressure ? Only sure way to check is with a manual guage

I did a quick check by removig the oil pressure switch and it sprays all over the place. I've driven it for 200+ miles and it's still runing just fine,

even with a few psi it will spray out, best thing is fit a proper gauge, its only £25 for a good one! (get a autogauge one, avoid the £20 digital read out ones…. had 2 oil pressure ones and both were dubious to say the least! inc one saying 0psi when hot when I know at idle I had 10 - 20)

Sold an engine last week to a chap who had the buzzer and oil light for a few weeks , thinking it was a faulty sender issue he kept driving till it siezed .

Mine is doing the same but no buzzer red oil light flashes almost in time with the formula e light. Any pictures of the senders at all would be cool? Looks like I might have to replace mine.
