If it had failed, you won't be driving it anywhere...!

Reduced efficiency yes, it will let you carry on.. but it shouldnt happen for sure... has it been serviced recently, and has it got plenty of oil in it...?

Crikey last thing you want on a high revving V8 engine is a dodgy oil pump. Hope it's just a sensor glitch and nothing serious/damaged.

Squeezebm... what was the outcome of the oil pump failure?

[squeezebm]

picked it up today............some sort of relay failure ?? told me that car had no other faults and had a full health check,TYRES!!!! on the rear need replacing 6500miles FFS!!

Good news on the issue being a relay and not the pump etc. Not so good news on the tyres. You must have been giving it some stick or am I driving like a girl these days...

It's around that I believe. What is the standard fitment? I think BMW offer 2 tyres, the PS2s and....... the other one I cannot remember.
