Hello everyone, was hoping for a little bit of help,recently I have reconditioned the engine in my defender and put her back in yesterday :) everything seemed fine until it started getting to temperature when the oil light started flickering if you reved a tiny bit it would go until you let off, it had happend befor the engine was taken out but thorght shells rings ect was going to cure this :-( I have changed the oil had a new sender switch, taken the oil pump apart tp check everything and all worked fine, I have read on past forums to up the revs but until I did this was checking it the right thing to do???? Or am i hiding a problem??? Any help or advise would be very much appreciated.
Thanks Astin
 
Does make me wonder if the oil switch is faulty - i know you've replaced it but could be a dud or the wrong spec

Oil light usually stays off at very low revs
 
Supose I could try another one first but if I unplug the switch it goes out which makes me thibk it working ??
