Oil is the blood of your car. If you cut a vein in your arm, you aren't going to be 100% are you?
i get what your saying,can it still be damaged when the oil is full?also if it is damaged what kind of damage am i looking at?

Oil level isnt gonna matter if there's sod all oil pressure to pump the oil round the engine.

Damage = replacement lump time.

Too much oil is as bad, if not worse than too little

Rusty old Rover s**te Wink

Body & trim parts are difficult to get hold of even 2nd hand, they didnt come of to well in Euroncap carsh tests either Laughing

A manufacturer is really scraping the barrel when they do an Atomic Kitten special edition Rolling On The Floor Laughing

Look for an MG Atomix if you really must as these have extra kit over standard but there all pretty poorly speced anyway.

Best case is the oil pressure switch has failed. Worse case is you've now got damaged crank shaft bearing shells, and if you keep using it, a damaged crank.

Oil is the blood of your car. If you cut a vein in your arm, you aren't going to be 100% are you?

Or even think of it as a heart pumping the blood around. No heart pumping, no blood circulating.
