Intermittent flickering stop light 182

[R-Sport.]

When Driving the 182 the car drives spot on no issues, when the car is started the oil OK light is on the dash -

However every now & again just normal driving the stop & oil 'can' light flicker together on & off- it will then go for long periods without coming on- then flicker again......
I think its just tormenting me-


Any ideas folks-

Have you check the oil level?

I checked on flat ground the other day It was fine- I will have another look today-
surely though unless it was right on the sensor level once the light goes on it would stay on-

Loose connection to the oil pressure switch probably.

Could also be poor oil pressure but that is unlikely if the car well looked after.

Check it topped up and if so, it probably is the above.

Does it do it still do when warm or does it go out when revved?

I believe the oil pressure switches are quite prone to failing. Had to change mine a couple of months back. Cheap to buy and dead easy to fix, might be worth a try if you've checked all the obvious things.

Well I manned up today- Got my Hands dirty & reviewed some other threads on here that had pictures of the oil Pressure sensor-

Got down to the part- wiring looked a bit under duress & was a little loose-
All cleaned up & done-

fault hasnt yet returned- Very impressed with myself-
