Alrite ppl i know this is saxperience ( and i do have a saxo lol ) but my misses has a little corsa 1.2 1999 16v, lately the oil light comes on n off.. i have checked her oil topped it up. Still same problem... its slightly juddery when idling too... it seems to run fine.. just that the coolant level gets over 100 not quite in the red but ( close ) I rekon another 10 mins drivin and it would have been.. some people say tis a sensor but with the high running temperature im thinking bad signs ?.. Any comments would be appreciated thanks people...

#2Timing is out, plugs need replacing
Head gasket gone pop!
Warped head!
Is there white goey gunk in the oil ?
Is the rad fan kicking in when hot ? -
#3Sounds a bit serious to me. I think it could very well be the oil pump on its way out.

#4i hope its not too bad... its a nice little motor.
It seems to actually drive fine.. just very lumpy on idling and the coolant temp went high.. i mite pop it down the garage next week its got to be sorted.
The light does come on and off... like on a hill it goes off and then up a hill its on lol..
thanks for your comments any more? -
