Default 0psi oil presure

Ive connected up a digital oil presure gauge today. When I first started her up I got 10 psi then after 5 mins on tick over 0psi. I mentioned other day she was a little tappy in another thread but surely if I have no oil presure then the oil light would be on? and she would sound shocking? Should I buy another oil pump? If so wich one? Cheers ryan

Could be a faulty or inaccurate gauge?

I guess you get what you pay for regarding gauges , never been right keen on the look of digi gauges . I think they look tacky .........

Each to their own of course

Yea It was off eBay. Gues ive been had over lol.it was some chinese s**t. Wasted few hours getting it all fit too. Never mind I'll order a diffrent one then and fingers crossed it's the gauge. I'd rather it of said 150 psi than 0, I don't dare drive it now ha
