Got myself a little dilemma...
As a second car I have an '88 Sovereign 3.6, used only for driving on sunny days, it's a hobby.
And guess what..... I got myself an oil-pressure-problem... The display gives me a red light when idle. When I start the car, no problems. After driving some distance and pulling over, the oilpressure goes up and down untill I press the accelarator down a little. The car just got checked by Jaguar for it's MOT, so the oil level is no problem.
Looked on the internet, talked to some people (who know) and they all say the same. 99% it's the oil-pressure-sender. Got myself another one (2nd hand) from a reliable source. But, after having removed the air-filter I discovered to my horor that I can't reach the sender, well I can, but not in such a way I can replace it..... Arghhhh!!!!
So, here's my dilemma. I'm sure that, based on what I read about others and my observations, it will be the sender. Shall I ignore the red-light, check the oil on a regular base until the oil and the filter have to be replaced and let Jaguar replace the old one with my replacement one (I know the guys down here, they will do that). Or do I need to replace it a.s.a.p. (and thus needing to replace the oil-filter also) ?????
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated !!
