Re: Oil pressure light

Bit late for you now, but oil pressure light at anything above idle means kill the engine NOW. Not in ten miles time, not at the next layby, but NOW. Gear lever into neutral, ignition key off and coast to a halt, unless doing so would be dangerous. I'll second that.... I lost my fantastic, sexy lit...

Re: Seized horizontal front door lock?

On a similar note... My central locking works fine, but I can only lock all doors from the Boot, or passenger side, Drivers lock doesn't move the locking pin down enough to lock it... Unlocking is fine tho... Any chance I could just swap the passenger lock for the drivers and hey presto job fixed..?...
