Oil pressure issue.
HAHAHA no fear, this is a manly land rover forum. We are all mechanics, to some degree.
I pulled the wire off and the connector was actually holding a small pool of transmission fluid--I am not sure whether anything was living in it yet, and I used some electronic cleaner to blow it out. I then decided that wasn't good enough and cut the wire back a bit, putting a new connector on it.
Second day with NO OIL WARNING LIGHT.
I am very pleased.
Thanks for responding to my shrill call.
Best,

Oh, and I just noticed you are a MB technician, Dgi...
I am also working on my sweet little '83 300CD or, as the family calls it: "the rolling turd" (though, to be fair, the Disco II has been vying for that title lately).
It is just about ready for the new paint job, after I fix some vac lines that seem to operate everything from the cutoff to the locks.

Hey, when the **** hits the fan, "that rolling turd" will be one of the few cars operating. hard to kill those things, but vacuum controls so much on those older ones. Had one where I had to trace a broken vacuum line under the dash for the AC flaps. I was cursing out designers, engineers, everyone and their mothers got cursed out that day. An older foreman told me I had it easy, they used cigarette smoke back in the day to diagnose them and find the leaks. Now we have smoke machines.
I stopped complaining after that.
