Re: Buzzer of Doom - Good course of action
Yeah mine does the same, if I slow down quick quickly from60mph to 20mph for a roundabout it then beeps but as soon as the rpm raises above a certain amount it instantly turns off so I can either slow down a bit more gradually or just go to an easier gear and increase the revs to silence it. The only thing is it seems to happen in certain circumstances and that makes me think it's not just a sensor/wiring problem

Well, just took the van into the garage to check over fuel lines and look at the rust around windscreen 
so had a chat about the buzzer. The mechanic said from experience as the buzzer comes on around 2000rpm it suggests the buzzer and wiring is fine & working perfectly, and the pressure IS dropping. Most likely due to worn engine and/or thin oil. I told him I'd changed the oil recently using the original spec and he suggested trying a higher grade that stays thicker at temp, plus he advised an ignition tune up to make sure it was running sweet. If that doesn't help accept the fact that sometime in the future I'd need a reconditioned engine.
