Stop & Oil Lights On

[MikeCup]

Stop & Oil Lights as normal when starting the car and then left to idle but as soon as I start to drive away the come on and stay on until I switch off. Oil and filter have been changed and no signs of any faults eg leaks, rattles etc.
Any ideas anyone????

dont drive the car till you find out what it is.

silly question, but have you checked the level? Might be a sensor fault if you are lucky.

had to drive the car and everything appears as it should be other than the lights coming on.

level checked several times before and after and found to be correct

level might be good, but if pump is knackered you might not be getting the correct oil pressure meaning parts of the engine could be starved of oil. Dont wanna sound like a granny, but I wouldnt drive it till i knew exactly what was causing it.

Don't drive it, seriously! Get it checked out!

Had the same type of problem, turned out to be a sensor cost about £50 to fix at Renault dealer.

Need to get the oil pressure tested but might/probably will be a faulty oil pressure switch.
