whenever i turn engine on, oil light flashes and the revs dip for a second then its fine.

any ideas why this could be? oil is all topped up ect.

car is also really bad on fuel, £35 tank only lasting 200 miles, do alot of 15 minute journeys though.

£40 got me 220 miles.... so £35 for 200 miles isn't that bad. Your just doing short jurneys so the engine is just hitting it's temp then you turning it off again.

Oil.... just keep an eye on it. Make sure it's topped up.
