cheers guys,

no it has plenty of oil, its a petrol 1800 gl, it will flash about 3 /4 times thenremain constant, doesnt start so cant see it being low oil pressure?? didnt do it when it was running?

Might be low oil level - most modern cars have a mowby float of some description for the oil level, if its too low, then the car won't start - this is to stop it lunching itself, or doing a "doggers"

Check the oil level and then check the wiring to the oil level sensor (if it had one fitted)

as said oil level is fine, plenty in it,

would it not start if the oil pressure swith was fubarred?or the wiring
