Have you checked that the oil pressure switch is still connected? The wire may have just popped off?

Ok, assuming you have a 2F you should find a switch directly underneath the oil filter (RHS of engine). There should be a wire connected to it and it is very possible that the wire has come off.

Let us know how you go.

I might get a pic for you if I get a chance.

yeah your right there doesnt appear to be a wire at all :?: could really see if it was floating around somewhere will look properly tomorrow in the light. Least doesnt mean theres issues with the oil system :)
