oil pressure switch

[jon haines]

I have to replace the above part but struggling to find it. Rimmers dont seem to have it, tried a few other rover/land rover people so wondering if anyone here can help?
Got an intermotor part no. 50550

Oil Pressure Switch

Is the broke one an Intermotor? Personally I'd look for another make. Not had any luck with this stuff over the past 30 years... Cheers Steve

Not had any issues myself and it is only a ten quid pressure switch, it's not as if it's going to leave you stranded in the middle of no where should it fail ....

As long as the back doesn't come off and piss oil all over the road, yo should be OK....

The problem is that the low oil pressure light comes on when the gauge reads one and a half bar and it is pissing me off. I know it should come on at or below 7 psi which i think is about half a bar. The switch does seem a strange one and not sure if any others will fit. I think i may have found one anyway.

I just swapped mine for one of these :

Default is 20psi which has been fine even with a hot engine at idle. I did need a 1/4 to 1/8th NPT adaptor and a new terminal.
