        Update, mechanics just got in touch and said he's put new oil in and filter , put the new oil seal in aswell, put it back together and left it idling and the low oil pressure light came back on but when he revved it it disappeared, he doesn't know why the light came on , he said maybe it could do with a run , and asked me if he should carry on with the clutch and flywheel, he said it sounds rattly , I said yeah just do it

          No.34X

          He should check them as well when he had oil sump off

          If you won't fix low oil pressure issue than there is no point doing clutch and dmf.

          I would get sorted oil pressure problem first.

                  If they are worn or damaged and he left them on the car than you can expect more serious damages to your car very very soon. And they are often getting worn due to oil pressure issues.

                    if youre still getting the low oil pressure message,after replacing the seal,,id next be checking the pump itself

                      It could be some wire worn as well or faulty oil pressure sensor

                        Or the bearings, damaged by the lack of oil from the failed seal are now pissing so much oil, oil pressure cannot be maintained. Remember the tolerances are thousands of an inch.

                              Ok so rang the mechanic today and he said everything was checked , but still won't turn over, I don't know whether to tell him to stop altogether and sell it as a non starter
