well ive had this problem for the last couple of weeks with the oil pressure light coming on,luckily every time its happened 2 times i have been in my street.first time it happened i put an oil pressure gauge on it and it read 50 psi took the gauge off ,started up the motor light was off,thought it might be oil pressure switch,a couple of days later it happened again after just driving into my driveway,i turned the motor off and came outside again about 30 mins later ,this time light was still on,,pressure gauge showed no oil pressure this time.so i took out the oil pressure relief valve and pulled it apart polished the inside up ,,,it had a slight mark on the bore not the piston ,,put it back together and it worked,50 psi,2 days later just got to the end of my street on again with the light turned around took the ford fairlane to where i was going,,yes FORD i dont have a problem driving a ford. anyway came home and tested again ,,no oil pressure,this time i put in a new oil pump 2 days have gone by and no problems yet ,have done 280 klm,s since installed pump.ill keep you posted on this but i am sure that the problem is now fixed
