Thanks
NO!
Prob just a faulty switch, but it should go out as the engine is fired.
Get the switch checked asap for peace of mind, think from memory they are about £20 to replace & should take about a minute tops to replace it.
If its not the switch then get the oil pump checked next, again this isnt a major job to check.
