i'd say the transducer is giving out a signal that the digi dash cant interpret
you should be able to get it to work with some messing about
not sure where you'd start though
i'll have a talk to the sparkie at work, he's a bit of an electronic whiz

Cheers that would be great.

im pretty sure the standard oil pressure sender works with the digi dash. are you sure you put the correct wire on? i know it sounds stupid but some people mix up the oil sender wire with the water temp wire.
to test if it is the oil pressure sender at fault, earth out the wire and the oil pressure should read full on the dash. that way you know if the sender is stuffed, or you have the incorrect wire or are wiring fault.

Was installed by a well known auto electrician, i doubt he installed it wrong.
I forgot to mention that the digi dash has a oil light not a meter like the analogue, and the oil light works its just back to front, on when it should be off and off when it should be on, but i would like to get a analogue gauge blitz, hks, or whatever to read off the standard pressure sendor on the side of the block, not to keen on having a oil line running into the cabin.
What are my options.
Cheers
Steve
