Think my oil pump has gone but hoping its may be alternator or something less £.
Currently car is in Gatwick long stay car park I had to drive round m25 to get there for 50 miles so at 70mph and no issues then, when I got to slower speeds / idle at the car park barrior engine sounded like tractor, battery warning light came on and i noticed window slow to open no engine oil light. The car was serviced a week prior new oil and filter hence my worry. Was late for my flight so didnt have time to hang around will need to get rac out when I fly back.
If oil pump had failed or was failing would I have noticed it at higher speed vs lower speed ideal were I have the issue ? I dont understand why battery warning light came on and car seems down on battery power or could that also happen if oil.pump gone ?
