Would expect to find it hanging down just ahead of the sump A sort of cylinder suspended on a post with a terminal or terminals on 'top' (ie bottom)

It's only two pages away from where you are now. I had a problem with zero pressure when under load. Austecs to the rescue. Basically I know nothing about engines and am too fat to get under the car without jacks! LOL! 5 minute job for those of yu who aer engine savvy. Good luck.

many thanks know there is nothing wrong with the oil pressure just getting some strange readings on the gauge, at least i know where to look now

I think they described the sensor, the switch is normally further back or adjacent (serps).. But it sounds like you want the sender not the switch anyway???? Just to be clear the switch activates the warning light, the sensor works the pressure gauge
