So I serviced my car today, diesel, air, oil filters and new oil, also a new drive belt as the old one was noisy
upon starting [at idle speed], message on dash saying stop engine due to lack of oil pressure
oil was of course in it! so the only thing I could think it could be was the filter, I undone the oil filter housing to check I had put it in correct, yes all good. on these filters there is a plastic bit that clips onto the filter which has to be taken from the old one, all sorted, oil had got up there as filter was now black with oil
started again, same thing
so I put the original filter back in, and all good....
have never seen anything like that before, I have ordered another filter from ECP and pick up tomorrow, its only a 5 min job to change it
