   hello, sometimes after driving and then staring the car up again the oil light starts to flash for around 20 seconds. I check the oil as the manual has suggested but everything seems to be fine. any ideas?????

   SOunds like low oil level or low oil pressure.
   
   If youve checked the level when cold, and thats OK, it could be a restriction in the oil system... could be worthwhile replacing the oil filter and seeing if that helps.
