beware..could be oil pump i drove 175 miles after mine came on ,aa told me was not oil pump as it would just go and was either oil pressure switch or the diode in behind the dash ,which apparently is a common fault , £3,700 later i can guarantee u it was the oil pump,do not drive another mile mate without getting it checked out ,i'm not trying to scare you but please don't take the chance.
