large oil pressure
I just did a rather large wheelspin and seem to have left the engine (1.3sr) at full revs for a second or so, now the oil pressure gauge is going all over the place and from 2500 revs now it is way off the end of the scale about 3 quarters of the way round.
anyone had a similar problem or know what could be wrong as it doesn't look to good although it sounds okay.

What the f**k is that?
Is it bad and will it cost much to sort out
RE: large oil pressure
Located at the back left hand side bottom of the engine, threaded into the block with one wire coming off. They aint expensive if you can find a working used one.
RE: large oil pressure
2 wires (switch for light and variable for gauge)

Sorry my bad, it was a long time ago!
RE: large oil pressure
is it still okay to drive. does it only show the pressure or is it more important?
RE: large oil pressure
It`ll be fine to drive, just an indicator for low oipressure problems.
RE: large oil pressure
The actual unit's not just a sender unit though is it?
I though it was the oil-pressure regulator valve?
