    only thing i can see that need changing is the oil pressure sensor on the side of the block, its near the oil filter and is screwd in witha cable coming off it,

    think there was a differants in they blnas/calais types and sl/executive types

    The thing with the berlina dash is that it doesn't have a low oil pressure light, it has an oil pressure guage and it will constantly read full oil pressure unless you get the variable oil pressure sender from a car that has oil pressure guage fitted

    The sender is there - You just need to bridge two cables and connect it up, the wire should be taped under the inlet somewhere - Blue wire as far as I remember, thats meant to run to the Sender.

    Thats my understanding of it.

    dashs without factory oil guages must run different senders as they must be earthed out type on sl's as when the berlina sports or calasi dashes are plugged in the guage goes of the scale so as others have posted the sender will need to be changed
