Re: [DML] Heads up on oil pressure sender cross parts reference

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Volvo 760 this side of the pond did not have a pressure sender, neither 
did the Renault 30, they both relied on the oil pressure SWITCH located 
on opposite side of engine, just behind AC pulleys. DeLorean has both. 
This is a sprung loaded piston.
