Loads of it now!!..will post a pic later...its still snowing here.

yup..thats what i got today..

what i have dont look like that.....what i got today i mean

blimey..we aint that big yet :)

Welcome Lee....Glad that you like our site..we are in the throes of growing at the moment with meets etc...would be good if maybe we could do a joint one. :(

woohooo!!..you finally did it!!..welcome to the club :( How the Aux doing?

yes..pressure one i have....oil press switch...need a level one? i have no idea..what does it look like?

No bonnet open warning..have had bonnet open and level warning still there..no..is not the warning i am getting now. Have just picked up part number....1206977 oil press switch. as for running the car...it was run for 2 hours this morning...and on and off all day..just did another run and its still on..how far do i have to run it and for how long?.I keep checking the oil level..and it hasnt moved! oh..the part was

you get STOP.OIL PRESS. had that before ...

Thanks for that littledaz..for a tenner ill get it anyway and give it a run later to see if it goes out.....shall take it up the M4 for a couple of junctions... but if it doesnt go out.....should i replace the sender?

I was told..the oil sender....on the dash i have the oil can showing..with the warning..check oil level..which i have done several times since it first came on last night when there was hardly any reading on the dipstick..this morning the can and warning are still there even though the level is just above the max mark on the dipstick..that is with cold engine reading.

ok..looking at the second brake bit...the fact that i can put the handbrake on without having to push the button in..does that matter? um..the drivers seat moves a tadge when you go round a corner... thanks for the link....

lol....id like to if i can do the service meself....but i do think i need to sort the oil warning out first...hmmm..... to be honest...cant remember the last time i fluttered me eyelashes at anyone to get something that i was after...im too blunt for that. :35: :unsure: :22:

ordered the oil sender/pressure switch from Fords..pick it up at half 4 this aft....all good fun..9.99 it costs. fingers crossed that is what is wrong at the mo and once changed the oil can will vanish again.As i know there is the correct level of oil in it. i can only ask Bleeno..though i dont know any of the FA tekkies..i shall flutter me eyelashes and see what i can get lmao..

ive got to drain the oil?..bugger....can it be done with no ramps etc??

gawd..glad you lot have faith in me! right..i need to get an oil sender..oil filter..fuel filter..pollen filter..air filter..ummm.......new oil.... oil sender is priority as oil level light is on even though plenty of oil in it.will try and get one today..

After looking at the milaege on the gal last night..i realised that even though it isnt due for another couple of months..it is 12k miles since it was last serviced. Now..for those of you that service your own cars i would like some help please as i cant afford service/MOT and TAX all at the same time..(MOT and TAX both due end Feb) would there be anyoneone out there willing to help me service my Gal and make sure that she is MOT ready??? I am asking realllly nicely...would be willing to travel a bit..(long as had directions)...she is now on 70k miles and was last serviced at 57k miles. please please please can anyone help me?? thanks maz

what would then?..and what would cause the wobble?

ahhh...they wouldnt insure me...i hadnt been driving long enough.

so...what does it say about me when my tyres are averaging about 10k eack?..since ive been driving ..think ive replaced 3....yup...3...just got another one last week..another fullrun.

which company is it with?

Gawd..i live in roundabout central!!..magic is plain awful..

oops my mistake...course turbo is rev related..kicks in around 1.9/2k mark...works on exhaust gas......but surely it wouldnt just happen at 3k revs?..hmmmm3k revs is over revving it a bit as i dont even hit 3k revs at higher than 78mph.
