Please help me guys, I have today bought an 80k, R Reg Marea Weekend 2.0 5 cylinder 20 Valve for £650, what a bargain, when I first picked the car up and drove it for about 25 miles-ish, it drove and ran mint, sounded lovely and appeared ok on fuel!! I pulled up to get some dinner switched off and left the Marea for no more than 5 or so minutes, when I jumped in and started the engine the OIL LIGHT started flickering and after a few mins the top end started ticking!! I took it to a friends garage, got it on the lift and promptly removed the oil relief vave (by the PAS pump) blew it out, although it was clean etc, put it back together and the motor was OIL LIGHT free for about 4 miles!!! it gradually started flickering again and after about a mile was fully on!!! I have always wanted one of these cars and now I have one, and after the day I have had I'm feeling thoroughly peed off... could it be the strainer blocked??? - anyone please, any ideas ...
