Does anybody in the Melbourne metro area have an oil pressure switch for a 304? I need one tonight if possible

Cheers,

Dan.

shameless bump for desparation

good luck dan, but you have to make it tomorrow. the wagon wants a shot at the title again. lol

can you just plug it to get you going.

[greenfoam]

Stocky has a broken one, good enough for a man with a new oil pump

[Morton]

I'm going to try and make a last-minute dash to Ripco at 10am and install the sensor/alternator/etc before getting down to Narre at 11am

Thanks anyway dudez ^_^

I feel bad.... I still think it was your fault morton... lmfao

[Morton]

It's okay, HoZy was able to find me an oil pressure switch lying around in an old engine in his garage.

We installed the switch, and it proceeded to blow up on the way to Marysville and throw oil all out the top of the switch. Somewhere out there on the roads is 10 litres of good Penrite oil - free to a good home.

[stocky]

howd you fit 10 litres in your engine, or did you top it up as you drove or something. whats causing all these oil issues?

[Morton]

Kept topping it up to keep the car running. Hakhawk played spotter for me, calling me whenever it stopped leaking

Basically, the last switch blew up, and the next one blew through

[stocky]

what on earth causes a switch to blow up though. high oil pressure or something? something getting blocked somewhere. shouldve called me up. if i was close, id drive out to you with my other oil switch

Nah, the first one was an electrical failure. Hozy filled it with RP7 The second one had been sitting around in the garage for about two years, and it was expected I have to go and get more oil tomorrow anyway, so don't stress about the switch THanks for the offer though ^_^
