going to the "world belly board championships" yesterday we were a little late, so leaving penzance to get to ST AGNES needed to get a wriggle on! van was flying 3.5k prm @120 kmh sweet. just before the end of the dual carrigeway 15miles ish the buzzer let rip....your heart stops!!! over the roundabout onto the twisty turnies all calmed down and the buzzer stopped..phew!!. do i have a problem or is she telling me she wants an oil change??? 2.1 dj..

Mine used to off (AAZ) after a good thrash down the motorway, normally when coming off at a junction, foot off the gas. Blipped the throttle and it stopped. I then fitted a oil cooler and haven't heard it since.....
So I presumed it was maybe the oil getting to hot and thinning?

thats it exactly....don't i have an oil cooler???

I mean an added on one, extra rad at the front. Like this http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... Oil+cooler" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Well worth it if you have a diesel, has really decreased the running temps, you have a petrol though....

Melted oil switch wires shorting on the block will also set it off intermittently. Mine were in a right state where they'd strayed too near the exhaust...
