I’ve just decided to go for a spin and after 30 mins noticed the oil pressure drop. Pulled over and engine bay red hot plus I can smell oil burning. Am worried! Have dropped it off at a local garage. Any advice? 

Checked radiator water level and engine oil level on dipstick?

Coolant all good. Engine red hot and was unable to check oil at the time. Left the car at a local garage near Doncaster (I live in south lincs) they are going to take a look next week. Only recently had a service oil change, filters, rad flush and new coolant. Slight leak between either the gearbox/engine or sump. But the garage said it was no big deal. I was travelling up the A1 yesterday to visit Custom Outlaws (ZX specialist). When I arrived engine psi very low and smoke coming out bonnet! Not good. Unfortunately it looks like Custom Outlaws are no longer in business or moved? Anyhow I'll see what the garage says. Quite an eventful day! But very worried it might be something more serious. Only had the car since February and not had that much driving time. Had planned to take the ZX to Japfest but that might not happen now. I'll have to wait and see.

You have a faulty oil pressure sender and most lightly  a leaking rocker cover onto a manifold.When the other garage give up on the car or can not diagnose it correctly i am more than happy to take a look for you.

Well that took long enough, the Zed scene can only be better for the closure...
