Thanks Martin,
Was not panicing, these things happen ;-)) More important things to
worry about at the mo. namely first child due in a week :-)

know the oil pressure switch was replaced by one supplied by DMUK in
the middle of 2004, could it fail this quick? that's why I had ruled
this out but I suppose any thing is possible.
