" THE THING IS THEIR ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS AND IN REALITY ONLY A HANDFUL GO WOBBLY " exactly, only good thing about the hysteria surrounding these well known issues ? CHEAP CARS, clever people who check reviews won't touch "Insignia"

The oil pressure light on my car takes a while to go out could this possibly be the early signs of possible failure
as I have recently purchased this car with a fsh and 110 thousand miles the reason I am asking as I have a six month mechanical warranty

It really depends on what the warranty covers to be honest---if the oil pressure light comes on when you are driving then everyone believes the engine is cooked-warranty might not cover that--it really is not worth the risk----what oil is in the car--did they service it when you got it---I've just had the oil pick up seal done on mine [67k]and the old seal was compressed a bit so pleased I had it done---where abouts are you------Dave

The car appears to run well the warranty is covered by warranty wise I would hate to cause any long term damage
How long would an oil light normally stay on for the light doesn’t come on when driving I am in Edinburgh the car has a full service history from Vauxhall

As stated above.the oil light should go off as soon as you start the car . the warning you are getting is telling you to stop the car.that warning message should not come on.if you have had the car for less than a month you have legal rights as it's not fit for purpose and I suggest you don't use it.because if you do then the selling dealer could turn around and say you caused the damage.stop using it.phone them . explain the situation.ask them to recover it and sort it or refuse the car due to being not fit for purpose.also send a letter by recorded delivery outlining the defects and keep a copy.through all this be polite.i had this with mine and thought it was a struggle.in the end I got my money back.
Sorry to sound so negative but that's the nuts and bolts of it all .
But do not drive it even if the garage says it's ok to drive.

YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA

Seems a long time to me 12 secondthats why I asked about the oil---I would ask the dealer you bought the car off is the engine covered---as you live in Edinburgh the guy who did mine lives in Keighley/Yorkshire so its a bit of a trip but a lot of people have travelled down to see him and get the seal done[£200].Even has customers from abroad and the guy is called Frank--if you want any other details let me know----Dave
