Your engine is about to seize up or has already - budget for a replacement unit.

Hi Bev, whats this means is that you or anybody else is not going to figure out what is wrong without getting somebody to connect a diagnostic to the car and actually putting ''hands on'' and checking things out. Could be something serious as suggested by the answer above or something simple like a fuel pressure failure or something.

Do you mean the oil pressure warning light? If this is the case, damage will have been caused to the engine, probably serious. If a warning light comes on, stop immediately (if safe to do so) and switch off the engine. Get it checked out. It could be lack of oil or a pump failure.

Hi bev........my son didn't realise that a red light meant stop either. Then the engine went BANG! It was expensive.
If it's not already too late get it checked out ASAP.

Should the over 70's be made to retake their driving test?

Yes, but the new license should be permanent. 

Yes, but only if they have been in an accident. 

No.
