Hey everyone hoping for some advice im gettin rather erratic readings from my oil pressure guage,the cars starting,running & pulling fine,its showing nothing at times n then jumping up n down etc,also seems to settle down showing kinda normal reading of 6kg blah blah at a reasonable speed so i assume its the sender?? anyone any ideas if this is a sensible judgement & could someone tell me where 2 get at it & how 2 remove it if poss??.

Supposedly the senders have a very limited lifespan...

They\'re fairly easy to get at on an FD - approach it from the spark plug side of the engine and a bit further back you\'ll find an area where three coolant hoses converge. The sender is underneath there.

I have just taken my first gen for a quick run up the road and have noticed I have got the same problem. Is the cure for this the same or is it different on a 1st gen.
