you can get oil pressure tester but that will mean running engine, fits in where oil light switch fits

Good luck

The oil light on my range rover classic came on and went off when you revved it/drove. It's gone off now, I think it was the sensor of the oil filter that had come loose and was sitting on a load of mud  :D,  Ben
