Hi, first time posting.
I bought my 03 Mini One from a (very reputable) second hand dealer about four months ago and have had no problems at all. Just recently however the oil light has been coming on after the engine has warmed up. The oil was near the lower limit so I topped it up, and for a few days the light didn't come on again and I thought that was the end of it. But it's been coming back on, and reading other threads on here it seems it could either be a simple wiring issue or a serious problem.
The car had a full service and MOT before I picked it up, and looking at the invoice it shows that they fitted a new oil pressure switch, a new oil filter and a new oil pump as part of the servicing.
Obviously I will take it to the garage soon as I am able to, but what I am wondering is, considering all the new oil equipment the garage fitted, should I still take the oil light as a possible catastrophe and not even drive to work tomorrow?
Thank you!
