Hi Folks,Its your totally worried Omega owner again,following on from last chapter.
As a non -mechanic omega owner and although there is no sign of the oil light on at tickover the last two days,from the replies I,ve received regarding this problem and I welcome your expertise on this subject and have always done so with other problems although were minor to this one,it seems the only way I will get peace of mind is to have the sump removed and get the oil pump and strainer replaced including the oil switch,can anybody tell me what a reasonable charge would be for this work to be done or is there anyone able to do it local in the west midlands,I assume if the engine blows on this car i get the local scrap merchant to take it away,which seems a bit of a waste of £3000
for the sake of getting it looked at.Anybody out there any idea,s please.
Regards

Hi Folks thanks again for the replies,at the moment,since it occured saturday night,the oil light has only come on before turning the engine over and has stopped off since,it doesn,t flicker at tickover and i had the oil and filter changed yesterdayand been to work in it today without a problem,i have taken in your comments thankyou,I think if the oil light was flickering constantly at tickover,I definately wouldn,t drive it,i,m not sure if the replies where the engine went bang were where the oil light was on constantly only at tickover,can you please let me know if this was the case.

Hi Folks Thanks for the replies.I started the car this morning and as usual the oil light went straight out,so i went and got the oil changed and filter and obviously run it till it was hot and it seemed ok.but saying that i will get the oil pressure checked and will bear in mind that the oil switch could be faulty,can someone advise me if it is ok to drive, along as the oil light isn,t on please?
Thanks for your replies

PS,In the hanbook it does say this problem can occur intermitantely when the engine is hot,but it hasn,t happened before with my car!
