car passed MOT on tuesday, and is going for full suspension set up in 2 weeks however:

1) no power is going to front fog lights, where is the fuse/relays for this?
2) oil pressure guage just goes off the scale as soon as ignition is turned, and stays there... even when the sender is disconnected, any ideas?

Oz.

On 2) - Disconnecting the sender always sends mine off the top of the scale...it kinda suggests you might have fault in the wiring from sender to gauge - can you put in a temporary replacement wire to see if that solves the problem before you start stripping bits out of the loom ?

Mike said grounding the wire should cause the reading to drop to 0...

this was the case for me, so new sender has been ordered :)
