Nissan Micra - Flashing oil light, car won't start - KennyF
Can anyone shed some light? I keep having a problem starting my1997 Nissan Micra. The oil pressure light flashes, the car turns over, but won't start. This happens for 2-3 attempts of trying, then usually the oil pressure light stops flashing and the car starts. Sometimes I have to leave the car for a short while before the light goes out and it starts. The dip stick registers almost full, but I realise this is not a real indication oil is actually getting to where it needs to be. Just to add when the car starts the oil light goes out as normal.

Wondered if anyone can help?
