Hello, Small's Series one has a two litre spread bore engine and the other day the oil warning light came on.
We have had the switch changed and it ran fine with no warning light. This morning the light is on again. The oil level is fine with no signs of excessive consumption. Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated Regards Swine 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue 1967 Morris Traveller 1966 Morris Convertible 2012 VW T5 Camper Quod Abundat Non Obstat. |

As Andy pointed out, I would get it checked with a gauge.
Might be a faulty switch, but better to check properly just incase  80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Hello Ian
Swine is way for the day so it is up to me at the moment. I am using 20/50 oil Regards Small 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue 1967 Morris Traveller 1966 Morris Convertible 2012 VW T5 Camper Quod Abundat Non Obstat. |

Hello All
Thanks for your help as I had become a little confused as Swine was away. It appears that the wire to the pressure switch was a little chaffed and and was intermittently shorting against the engine hence the on/off oil light. Bit of tape from Swine's box and all sorted 
He will be proud of me . 
Thanks all 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue 1967 Morris Traveller 1966 Morris Convertible 2012 VW T5 Camper Quod Abundat Non Obstat. |
