Hey everyone,

Just got a problem with my oil light coming on. It started yesterday, everytime I start the car the oil light comes on and when I put the clutch in and accelerate it turns off. I've checked the oil and everythings fine. Is this an electrical problem? Any Ideas

thanks

lol that would be so funny but so annoying and could prove quite dangerous if you toot the wrong person

the worst i ever had was the reverse lights would come on in 2nd gear and some times first
1st was the best sitting at the lights and the person behind starts tooting lol

but thats just a switch in the wrong place

my horn slip ring wore through and every time I turned the horn would beep. was VERY annoying in undercover carparks!
then it wore through the whole way around and just beeped regardless so I had to take the horn fuse out, which also is the indicator fuse. Made for a very interesting trip home in peak hour traffic
