You were spot on mate! Didn't realise just how fast I was losing oil! Popped 2 litres in and the check light went off and all is well again! Have some well earned rep bud!

No worries buddy, glad to be of help!! The oil light didn't come on in my accord either, at least not until it was too late

If it was in gimp mode it should be ok. When my oil pump went, the garage it went to first were convinced there wasn't an issue and were revving it up to like 4000rpm to show there was oil splasshing around

All of that gave a little ware on 1 of the big end barings, and that was with 0 oil pressure and you clearly had more than that for the oil light not to come on

No worries mate, forgot to add the first garage wansn't PAW. I took it to PAW second, after they diagnosed it correct over the phone and subsequently fixed it with their usual top service!

Where are you getting the spoiler from? Were plaged with people 'running' in the middle of roads with flames at the moment.

you should be ok there. It's in Cardiff today and is headed swansea way tomorrow. Ponty is a little north of all that
