Default Oil pressure switch

How much are they for the Saff and can you pick them up at any Motor factors?

Whats happened to mine is when i was taking it out i didnt see the connector catch on the dip stick pipe Snapping the connector of!! Not i can more or less put it back together, would this be ok for bodge job incase i have to wait for new connector? As i want to use the car this weekend Or would it cause oil to leak? I cant imagine that though, though im not sure how it works if im 100% honest.

Yeah spadge thats all, tbh i manged to get it back in and you can hardly see the crack where it snapped of. So im thinking for this weekend whack a bit of clue to keep it in place (though its tight back in so cant see it coming loose) And just get a new one next week.


Cant belive i snapped it

Ehhh

The oil feed for the turbo comes out of the same block that screws into the cylinder block but they are seperate entirely!

Ah!!!!!!!!! Well fuck me i thought they was all in one. What size is that pressure switch then?


Fook me looked the same to me as its not tapped to have good fit. Makes sense then i can put the block in then the pressure switch without taking out dip stick tube maybe


Cheers Spadge!!!
