All.
Thanks for your replys. just to let you know the oil light did come on. My wife had been told that this was probally due to low oil pressure, she tried to get back home but unfortunatley did not make it. the car slowed down and she had to stop. when the AA turned up they checked it over and diganosed that the engine had seized. I have the car at a local mechanics who will check it over me. the Aux belt and tensioner were changed in May this year as were the rocker gaskets. this will be checked again just incase,the engine had done 140000 miles.
probally have been unlucky with oil pump.When I know for defniate it is seized. I will be looking for a replacement engine,as the car is in very good condition. any more replys would be greatfull.

By the time the oil pressure warning light illuminates, the engine is already f**ked.

I used to work with a lad (a very good spark, but useless mechanic  ;D) who used the low pressure warning light as a low level warning ie when the light came on when going round corners he knew he then needed to top it up with oil. Funnily enough he had to spend a few hundred quid on his valve gear/cylinder head .......  :-?  :-?

We did tell him that we suspected the 2 were connected.  :y :y
