Thankyou for the reply . I have had a new smith oil and water gauge fitted and it is giving very high readings especially if you bring the car up to 60 mph. So before going down the route of pulling the oil pump off I want to swap out the oil pressure valve to see if it is getting stuck at all

It’s a 1098 engine and over the last month or so I have had endless problems with the fuel pump and I am struggling to see the logic for such other then poor quality parts and bad luck . When my old original pump on the car gave up the ghost and started to click non...
