127k miles
1996 model
After reading the search results I changed the pressure sensor - Britpart - made no difference, electrical connection was oily, but as the light is working can I assume the terminal is ok - easy to change otherwise
There was a smell of bad oil as I took the old sensor out.
I do oil changes very regularly, once a year and car only does about 1k a year.
Just changed the oil again. Nice and clean on dip stick.
10w40 I think. or was it 5w40? Semi synthetic.
I did add a bottle of Slick50 for the first time ever this time.
Anyway, this is totally new to me. Owned the vehicle over 15 years.
It is only on startup that the light stays on (longest was for about 6 seconds) then goes out and stays out.
If starting engine after it has just been turned off, no light.
Interestingly, if the car has been in the sun all day, the light stays on longer than if it has been a cooler day upon start up.
Lifting the bonnet, I do sense things seem and smell a bit warmer than they used to, even after a short run, but that could be my imagination and that we have just had Summer here in the UK.
Any ideas would be really welcome. Thanks
