hey the wire come of my oil pressure switch ive tryed to jam it bak in with foil and taped it but if that dont work what will happen if i drive it

cheers andy

Nothing in the short term. (It's "just" a warning light) but should be replaced ASAP.

If the connector is broken, replace the connector (can't remember if it's a plain Lucar -- peanuts -- or a "proper" connector -- scrappy), if the switch is fubar, new switches are pretty cheap.

thx its just i wont have the time to do it anytime soon so just the warning light will be on? will there b anyloss in power from he engine because last night i couldent get passed 30 but i think that was down to the timeing as the belt wasent tight enough whn i put it back on also it was amazingly hot in the engine bay

The light will be off, it won't effect anything. It is just connected to the light on the dash, that is it.

Do check all the obvious causes of overheating -- water leaks, airlocks, fubar thermostat, rad fan not coming on.

it sounds pretty knackered, overheating, timing belt flaying around smashing connections.

get it sorted

just had look at belt tightend it has look at timeing think its right the one on crankshaft is lined up to a ridge just near it theres 4 of them and i did it to top one still running rough at idle and has no power at low revs fort i better come in as its now 2 in the morning


edit: i changed the h/g yesterday
cheers andy

Your timing is miles out if the under bonnet is very hot.

Recheck against the guides.
