BogMonster Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 A while ago I posted about oil pressure senders not lasting very long I'm really getting &&&&&&& off with it now I had a new sender fitted a few days before Christmas. I had another new sender fitted in about the first week of January because that one packed up (sometimes no light, sometimes light stays on all the time). I had a new sender fitted yesterday. And this morning I have a puddle of oil on the garage floor from the "new" sender which now needs replacing again before I can go away for the day tomorrow..... Should I take about 6 spare ones with me just in case I wonder? This is just getting stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you need to save your money and buy an el'cheapo switch from Paddocks and use the money save to by a bottle of wine, so when that one spills it's guts you can always drink the bottle of wine and shove the cork in the hole Did your engine type get fitted into a Freight Rover or anything like that? just wondering if it was and if their's were more reliable.......

BogMonster Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Somebody said the other day that some sort of Toyota one will fit. Otherwise that is exactly what I will do, order the cheapest %%%%est ones I can find on the basis that they can't be any worse than the one I just threw across the garage.... the current crop of Gen ones aren't water proof, don't work most of the time, and now aren't oil proof either!! What a bluddy mess, it looked like I had run over the Exxon Valdez underneath and had to put the best part of a litre of oil in, it was full to the mark when I checked it only about a week ago so it must have all gone yesterday afternoon.
