'Engine Oil Pressure too Low'

Just driving home from work tonight I little oil warning light came on. Looked it up in the manual and it says the oil pressure is too low. It also says you should stope the car immediately and consult Mini Service. I'm a bit scared to drive it again over the weekend. The Car is a 57 plate One. I'm getting a Cooper S in the next few weeks so could really do without the hassle of my current car going wrong!

Do not drive it.... Starving the engine of oil could destroy it. You need to get it checked out.

Checked oil level, I'd think you where very very low, oil pump failure is rare. Do you check oil level regular ?? Just like petrol a car uses it.

Hello,

Hey friend i have also been in a same situation, just don`t drive it now, if you will keep driving it, it may cause big damage to your engine resulting in long silence that mean it could kill your engine.


Regards,
