Right the car is now in the garage ive done all i can do. Dropped it off and the guy said come back tomorrow and it will be done

he'll replace the engine and give you a thousand pound bill .

I know him and hes a good lad. I had a metal on metal rattle coming from under after i bought car so i took it down to him and it turns out the back bow was put on by a gibbon so he welded my exhaust up and tightened my rear wheel bearings up for £20

Went to the garage today to see how my car was getting on and the guy seems yo think he know what wrong he thinks its a socket on the ignition just behind where the key goes in. Hopefully i'll be driving it home tomorrow

Does anyone know what the flashing oil light means? I have exactly the same problem with my car but haven't had much time to commit to fixing it, I've tried a different throttle body and coil on mine so far but still the car wont fire.

What is the flashing oil light for?

Thanks

Adrian

with all the prices for the bits you replace and garage fees it would be cheaper to buy a new engine  but in my experience flashing oil light could be not enough oil, oil pump not working  other thing is have you checked you have a cam belt still fully intact and hasn't snapped? get a compression check and do a diagnostics scan to start with! I feel theres an ecu problem somewhere on nerf69's problem but could be wrong
