Finally pulled my finger out and finished the work on my iS this weeked (changed upper sump and converted to a 36 rack) connected everything back up turned the ignition on but didn't turn the engine over. All the lights are on and not turning off, when I drop the handbrake they slightly dim but dont turn off.

The main one I'm worried about is the oil pressure light, I've disconnected the spark plugs but how do i check if the oil is flowing around the engine?

Cheers,
Jamie.

????????????????? If you turn the ignition on and don't 'turn the engine over', the lights should be on, including oil pressure.
