Tried changing pressure sensor yesterday. Absolute pig to reach from underneath. Had to use universal joint on extension bar to get at it. Ended up snapping top off new one,as it seemed a bit tight in the thread, luckily it was only 4 quid. Put old one back for now. May be easier to get at it from the top if I take all the manifold off. has anyone ever changed one of these with engine in situ. Replacement part from Europarts was a slightly different shape on top with longer thread where wire connects. This made it difficult to get standard 23mm socket on. Many thanks

Thanks for your replies. Its a 2.3 petrol auto. I've checked the wiring already so I'll see if I can source a new switch. I presume these are just screw thread into the block. Thanks

Hi My oil warning light has started flickering on and off when engine is idling, normally occurs when pulling up at junctions or parking. It does not come on when driving under normal conditions. Oil level is always ok and changed every 10,000 miles. I have checked switch connector for any obvious loose wires but all ok. Any Ideas. Car is a 1998 Ford Galaxy with 120,000 miles on the clock

I had a similar problem for months, particularly irritating when in a queue of traffic. Only seemed to do it when turning wheel but not all the time. One day decided to have a look in steering boss. to my delight found a stray staple, presumably off the steering wheel, sitting inbetween horn contacts. Every so often this would short out the two contacts. Removed it with tiny pincers and has been fine ever since
