  1. how many miles has everybody done??

    90,453 on an 05 plate. Had it since October 09 when it had just over 80k. Need to get new brake discs and pads all round which isn't ideal just before xmas :confused: Hey ho.
  2. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Got the car back yesterday afternoon and all is well again. New sensor, pollen filter, oil and fluids changed. £245. A couple of advisory things but nothing major.
  3. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    I've just dropped car off and he plugged his box of tricks in and straight away a faulty sensor popped up. Phew!
  4. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Well I did ask if they could siphon it out and he said he would put it over the pit and drain it from the sump. Either way its at a low risk level and with it being serviced tomorrow it should sort it. Fingers crossed. I also think the brake discs and pads are due. I hope they last a bit...
  5. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    No its a good tip defo. At least its not a red flashing light with beeps. I dread those. Even the low fuel warning scares the crap out of me everytime it goes off. :happy:
  6. Water pump - plastic vs metal

    I had my water pump and cambelt changed by a stealer and at the time I was in a similar situation. I asked the steamer to source and fit a metal one but they said couldn't source one and it wouldn't be covered by them if it went wrong. So ended up with the plastic one they recommended. They also...

    I did do a search but didn't come across your post. The local garage I took it to drained the excess oil from the sump so may have connected any loose connections in the process. However it does need a service anyway as it has been 6 months.
  8. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Well the oil level is back to where it should be. The local garage drained some out. So at least I can breath a. little easier now. They didn't charge anythingwhich was nice of them. taking it into Volkscraft tomorrow to be serviced.
  9. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    I've just dropped it into my local garage just to take a bit out. Sooner rather than later. Still getting it looked at and serviced by specialist.
  10. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    It's the light in the main cluster with the oil can pic. I've had the red coolant light flash and beep at me before which just required topping up. So its not that.
  11. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Yeah I read somewhere else that it could be the coolant level. I'm going to try and syphon out the excess oil in the morning just in case before driving it to the garage on wednesday.
  12. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Yes the engine starts and the light flashes 2-3 times then goes off. Its an orange light btw. I'm hoping the service and replacment sensor sorts it out.
  13. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Thanks Lee. I hope so to. It's not as if I've been driving around a lot since its been at that level so again hopefully its not done any lasting damage.
  14. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    I've checked it whilst on the flat as the drive is sloped.
  15. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    I've just gone out with a ruler and checked again. Its more like 10ml over. :blink:
  16. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Its about 5ml over it think. So fingers crossed after the service and sensor change (if needed) it will be ok. So no its not spilling out but I did see on the oil filler cap a warning not to overfill as it can cause the cat to get damaged. :confused:
  17. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Yeah but the oil level is a little over the maximum mark. I don't think I should of put that ltr in so really worried I have done some damage. I only did this on Friday night and have only driven it twice since. I will be driving it very carefully to the garage on Wednesday. I'm a muppet for...
  18. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    I've booked it in to be looked at on Wednesday. I said to the guy over the phone about the problem and I mentioned I'd put another ltr of oil in and he took a sharp intake of breath and said I shouldn't over fill it. I've just checked the level and its a bit over the maximum mark. :doh...
  19. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    It had the head skimmed in Jan/Feb time so that was the last time it was serviced. I think I will get it in ASAP as you've said. :blink:
  20. Oil level warning light flashing 2-3 times when engine started.

    Hi all, Just wondered if anybody could shed some light on a problem which started a couple of days ago. I noticed that when I started the engine the oil level warning light flashed 2-3 times and then went out and stayed out. Thought nothing of it. Later that day I started the engine again...
