Oil pressure gauge

Morning started the MG for the first time in a few months ,and it went on the button .So not much wrong there. However I noticed the oil pressure gauge wasn`t moving at all I seem to remember on my last MG the gauge didnt work and I think it was said they arn`t very  reliable .Is this correct Len 

Hi yes mine's the same on my F, doesn't really move much at all I don't think its much to worry about to be honest.

It's an oil temperature gauge.

Mine works but it doesn't do much. Once the car is fully warmed up it hovers around the 120 mark and only ever creeps higher on sustained runs at 70mph.

I had wondered if it could be replaced with an oil pressure gauge.

It's not an oil pressure gauge it's an oil temp gauge and a bloody useless one at that, it's about as handy as tits on a bull!........just ignore it!

Ive never looked at mine. I think replacing it with a second clock just in case you need to know the time in an alternative time zone would be about as useful

Who worries about the time when you’re out & about.
I changed the clock for an oil pressure gauge & the temperature for one that works. Both are digital & they are accurate, having checked them against known standards.

That’s just about right David, your gauges have waggy, pointy things, my gauges are LCD & not as pretty as yours. However I can change the colour of the display; red car red readout etc, there’s even a purple for those with armanarth(?) car.
One problem with VVC cars is the additional feed from one of the sensors, this turns on a warning light early & under normal conditions.
