Re: BMW specialist/mechanic nr. Leicester? Oil pressure...

Thanks for asking. Dropped it in to him this afternoon; he's going to try and take a look tomorrow morning. Hoping that it's oil pressure sender, and that the 'dry bearing'-type noise at 1.5-2k revs is unrelated (and cheap to fix!). Keeping fingers crossed...

BMW specialist/mechanic nr. Leicester? Oil pressure...

After many moons of looking, picked up a (slightly ratty) 325i Touring last week. However - oil pressure light is flickering, and could really do with someone taking a look at it as soon as possible...

Thanks guys. Bit taken aback by how quickly I got so many responses! Feeling a bit guilty about hijacking this guys thread as well... :oops: Well, I'm gonna start having a look 'proper'. I very much liked the look of PeteE30Tourer's, but just couldn't get round to looking at it quick enough: http://...
