    The oil pressure gauge sometimes works perfect and then not at all??

    The fog lights won't click on anymore??

    The radiator fan doesn't kick in??

    Could do with a full check up really.

    Oil pressure gauge... never works lol try get an aftermarket one and plumb it in, sender unit etc check those.

    Fod lights will be one of the relays, get a new relay and change it about see where it make them work, possible a fuse? fuse box clearly labled what is for what.

    On the rad fan, check the wires are connected, drivers side in the bay on the rad, two connectos go onto the stat check they are both still there + fuses and relays

    CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS!!



    Sorry, Tourettes. Terrible thing.




    Where were we...




    The oil pressure gauge sometimes works perfect and then not at all??

    Check the connectors on the sender unit, its located on the front of the block near the small blanking plate. Give them a good clean.

    The fog lights won't click on anymore??


    Again, check the connectors for each fog, check bulbs and check the fuse.

    The radiator fan doesn't kick in??

    Check the fuse and the relay first (try swapping it for the perc fan one if you have it). Otherwise, connect the power to the battery directly to see whether the motor is still working; if that works, connect the two wires going to the temp sensor (in the rad) and see if it starts. If it does, its possible your temp sensor is at fault/connectors.


    Could do with a full check up really.

    If you're really stuck, give your area rep a shout, thats what the lazy sods are there for.
