I think your totally right Bruce. Had the oil changed today, seal was gone on dipstick so replaced that then on the drive home I checked cold tick over pressure and it was over 3 bar. Then 20 miles later I pull up on the drive and straight down to 1 bar and light comes on. Rev it, pressure goes up light goes off, drop back to tick over down to 1 bar light goes off. This was not an issue when I ran the car early part of last week. It's only been an issue in this extreme hot weather and it is running slightly hot so suspect the heat might be causing it
