Pinout details for Solenoid Valve Block connector
Other wire 12V not ground, same 12V as any other solenoids, probably off fuel pump relay.

Low oil pressure in morning.
Did you check it again to see if the new fuse has blown?

No luck cos it blew again, or which warning light are you seeing, both? As far as I know the red one is only to do with the pressure switch, the yellow/amber only to do with the level/temperature sensor, so you may have two different issues; which would be surprising.

Rounded wheel bolt!!!!
Yep, I edited my previous post to acknowledge this.

Rounded wheel bolt!!!!
Loosening the locking bolt first has the advantage that if you can't undo it for whatever reason, you abort the whole mission a bit earlier and with the wheel still securely attached. Battling a reluctant one with a possibly dodgy worn key, possibly on a widow-maker jack with all of the other bolts out is a bit of a risk if things come tumbling down.* I'd always bin them off for standard bolts on a daily of mine. *afterthought - the car's still on the ground at the point of first loosening, so this is probably all nonsense. Fits in well in this thread, I feel. 😁

Pinout details for Solenoid Valve Block connector
Well I have to be honest, the permutations of cars, engines and ECUs is baffling my brain this morning but looking at an Octy wiring diagram for a 2006 BXE, the N75 valve is driven by ECU pin 29.

Check cabin fuse number 4 and replace if it is blown.

Honey as part of your healthy eating.
The explanation seems very muddled. "[Useful] Hormones are fuelled by fat, so we'll put glucose in instead" (paraphrasing a bit brutally). My understanding of metabolism says that the body only 'runs on fat' when excess glucose isn't available in the bloodstream, so I don't see how adding it helps. Not saying it doesn't work, just sounds a bit backwards, as explained there.

Wheels will flick outward at the bottom as they leave the ground due to the tilting of the car as it's jacked up on one side only.
