Hi  
Does anybody know where the oil pressure switch is located on cossie as i am thinking of changing switch because oil light stays on but dims after starting.Also have timing chain rattle for 2-3 seconds on cold startup, could this be related.

Hi Snoopy/Scorpioman
Thanks for the advice, I tried changing the oil pressure switch this weekend but couldn't get the switch off as 23/24mm socket wouldn't fit as pattern is different .
Does anyone know if I need a special tool to remove this?
By the way I am using 10-40w oil, is this okay?
Regards

hi there
 
the oil is fine (2nd choice), not sure about a special tool.
