corsa was 100% this morning, passed its MOT, even the emssions 
Got home and oil pressure light was staying on on start up, though it may be down to relife valve as lee suggested
now its as tappy as fuck (its never tappy) taking it apart now, as by my reckoning it fucked
oh well, PVS in the 12 volt

you still might be able to fix it in time?
may just not be getting enough presure up top, aslong as there isnt any knocking and such, should be fixable to an extent...

i dont mean to alarm you... but mine was doing this, then i put another litre of oil in it, then it died.
moral of the story is.... dont put 6 litres of oil in a car designed for 5 litres...
