Hey, just a quick question,
Was driving to work today was a hot day and i had the aircon on, the temp gauge was sitting on the r in normal when all of the sudden i hear a beep and i realise the oil pressure gauge has dropped to zero! I was at a set of lights so i moved off to find a park and as i did i noticed that when i was accelerating the gauge would move up and as i slowed down/stopped it would drop back to zero 
Any thoughts as to whats going on here? Thanks guys.

ELs are known to have a dodgy earth that can affect the gauge reading.
I think others have solved it by upgrading/adding an extra earth to the block. The oil pressure would have been a tad lower then normal due to the heat, but probably not as bad as the gauge was making out!

As a matter of interest, what is the normal reading for the
Oil Pressure, say at 100km/h, 2200 rpm...?? The gauge on my EB numbers 0 to 7, which I assume is pretty similar to an EL. |

I've had exactly as you've descibed in my EF twice. Zero pressure then beeps. Other than that it always goes down low when there is a big power load on the car.

my oil pressure doesnt get "beeping" low. but it gets damn low... on IDLE.
and then with revs, it goes back up to a good pressure. i was told this was due to a stuffed oil pump. |

sounds like the exactly same symptoms as my oil pressure... most likely a stuffed/worn out "oil pressure sender unit"...

AH, I have been getting a bit worried, the EL mont has 134,000km on it and its doing this. f**k thing.

EA S driving 100km/h @ 1800rpm (manual) the oil pressure is sitting around 2 or a c#nt hair under. Normal driving it likes to move around 1.5 - 3.5, and only get's up to about 4 if I'm giving it some. |

Seems like mine is pretty well the same, 3 when cold and about 2 when hot, at 100 clicks. |

check your sender and the connection first. saves your pulling the motor apart.
