Couldn't find anything in a search of the threads, so advice please?
Very occasionally the oil pressure warning light comes on but then goes off again after a short distance. This happened today on a three mile trip from cold. Car was then left for around two hours and light did not come again for the journey home.
The car has used very little oil in my ownership and I've only topped it up twice with around half a litre in the last eight thousand miles. There's no oil leak, no smoke on start up or under acceleration, the car runs perfectly and still returns 70 mpg regularly.
The service indicator shows 1500 miles to next service and it is a 2001 '51 car with 37500 miles on the clock. The last service was at around 15000 miles in September 2003, but, the supplying non-franchised dealer insisted on doing a 'service' involving an oil and filter change. Despite my insistance that they use the correct specification long life oil, I've no proof that they did so and that was at 29000 miles.
Any suggestions? Might I be looking at a big bill?
Cheers
