Yes that is the oil pressure sender unit in your first post.
I have a spare used one here if you want it, just pay postage.

£2 should cover it.

A 12mm open ended spanner is all you need to remove it, it has a square section to it between the sender and engine block.

Cheers.

Engine oil presure.
You might get a small dribble of oil come out as you remove the sender.
Just don't remove it when the engine is running!

thanks mate much appreciated

would this not working have an affect on anything else or is it purely a visual indicator

don't suppose you know quantity of oil needed to refill if I do an oil and filter change and could you recommend which oil

sorry for all the questions

cheers again

Have a look at this thread by TonyN on servicing. Oil quantities & type are down the page a bit. Loads of servicing info.
