Mini Clubman oil pressure warning light and sensor issue

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my old Peugeot – kept getting a random oil pressure warning. Did you check the connections to the temp sensor? Seems like a common point of failure these days with all the vibrations and heat under the hood.

When you say check the connections, are you referring specifically to the plug leading into the temperature sensor itself? Or were there other areas I should be inspecting? I want to make sure I'm thorough before taking it in.

Yep, I meant the plug. On my Peugeot, it was corroded and barely hanging on. I cleaned it, but it kept happening, eventually just replaced the sensor. But looking at the cost of the repair for your Mini Clubman, maybe it is more than just cleaning. Might be best to just have a workshop take a look.

I appreciate your insights. As suspected, the issue was indeed a defective cable connection to the engine oil temperature sensor. Repair completed, cost 95€. Hopefully, this thread will assist others facing similar symptoms on their Mini Clubman.
