Andy Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The oil pressure switch is down the side of the block somewhere (I forget where) but it really is as simple as unscrew it & screw the new one in. You really can't get an easier job, if you can turn a spanner you can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty_32 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If you one the drivers side of the engine, look at the wiring loom, there will be a point where two single wires come out of it. One will run to the fuel pump, and the other to the oil pressure switch, making it easy to find! Getting a spanner of deep socket to it isn't too bad, and as andy said, it is just unscrew and screw in. Tighten until its firm. It is quite a large size, but if you have a new one then you can be sure you're onto it! Good luck! if you are still struggling I can send a photo with it pointed out, or look in Haynes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
