Hi, up in the mountains today pootling along minding my own business and noticed the oil pressure gauge was reading nothing. So eventually found a safe spot to pull over and open the bonnet to have a look. I was not overly concerned as I have an oil light/buzzer combo as an instant warning (Mr T forgot this). So, I could see the positive wire had come out of the terminal on the sender unit, this may have been knocked/loosened yesterday when the entire chassis/engine was put through the local HGV pre ITV steam facility. So I pushed the wire back in and still no gauge, I have little doubt this has touched earth and shorted.
I am still miles from home but have basic tools and a multimeter, I can confirm I have 12.2v on the positive (white wire paralleled with another white with brown tracer and the other wire is to ground which is white with black tracer. The sender resistance alters with varied RPM's, everything else on the car is working perfectly, fuses all good, I do not have a diagram and would appreciate someone posting one up for me? I have a mobile internet dongle and the signal seems OK......ish up here so should be able to get online again later?
I not stranded in any way and I will be back to civilisation in a couple of days but while up here doing nothing.........
Many TIA
regards
Dave
