Oil Pressure Sender

[richyb66]

I'm after a Vauxhall oil pressure sender. It's the combined type that does both the oil warning light and the gauge so it's got two terminals on the back of it and is used on astra, cavalier, calibra and 2.0 XE. It will probably look like this

thought probably not quite as shiny.

 

I'm using an Astra digital dash on my pinto and would rather try an old sender unit to check it all works before I splash out on a new one.

Take a deep breath before you ask a Vauxhall agent for the price.....about £65 when I looked about 3 years back.

Have a look at ETB they do the same thing for a little less and you can have a chat with them first before placing your order. These guys are very helpful.

All sorted now thanks to my local motor factors. I only popped in for a pair for front wheel bearings (£14 ea +VAT) and thought I'd see if they'd give me a price on a sender.

 

After a quick check in the book to confirm the part number, he pops out the back and returns a few minutes later with the dirtiest, shabbiest box I've ever seen, containing the said sender. He then proceeds to tell me that given the age of the part and the fact that he'll probably never sell it to anyone else, I can have it at cost price.

 

Just over 14 quid.

 

Result.
