Blocked oil filter warning! Don't think it was often, if ever, fitted though!

All the later cars had it fitted - should be a wire (green +yellow) going to a switch on the top of the oil filter housing. Short the wire to earth to check if the light comes on!

Then once youve checked that the light is working disconnect the stupid thing and use the warning light for something useful :)

Reversing light, think someone uses it for their trailer lights, fog lights or just to remind you that youve disconnected the stupid thing which I would bet has never ever lit up on yours Roy :) presumably 'cos you change the oil occasionally

Connect to the oil pressure light switch cable, voila two oil pressure warning lights!

One low oil pressure light is enough for me. I'll keep mine for the trailer indicators

Reversing lights ??????? Useless things......... Not seen mine light up - and yes - I did change the oil once - about 3 years ago now.... Still looks quite clean. :wink:
