Hi everybody,
 
Can anybody remind me what the oil pressure gauge should be reading at tickover when the engine is at normal operating temperature?
 
Also - when doing long runs on the motorways, then pulling into a fuel station is it normal for the gauge to read slightly lower than normal when coimg to a stop?
 
I've recently changed the dial cluster as my temperature gauge had a fault of being erratic when the temperature went over 85oC - and i'm hoping its just the diffence in the gauges rather than a larger problem somewhere under the bonnet!
 
I have my fingers and other bodily parts crossed that it is just the gauge!
 
Thanks
 
Jon
