Bazza Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 350 miles ! all going very well, bit of a panic moment the other day, when the oil pressure decided to light up, quickly stopped and checked everything, all seemed to be ok, restarted and no light !, limped it home and just as i got home it lit up again ! checked and rechecked and all seemed ok, so connected up the greddy oil pressure gauge which confirmed all was ok seems the brand new Toyota sensor is kaput !
