Oil Pressure Sender

The oil pressure sender had been leaking so I decided to change it with a new one from AutoRicambi.

Getting the old one off wasn't too difficult but having a stubby 22mm wrench (old sender) and a stubby 17mm wrench (new sender) will make the job easier.

The car never registered great oil pressure to begin with but after changing the switch its reading a steady 0. Taking a closer look at the new sender, you can see that the bore is much smaller than that of the old sender. This is likely the reason for the difference in readings. I'll hunt down the correct replacement later but in the meantime this one has stopped the leak.
