Oil pressure switch / sensor HR engine

[smudga]

At the last service I pointed out that the oil pressure on the in car gauge was reading low generally and was advised that it was the sensor that was faulty as a seperate gauge was connect and it read OK.

 

Seems to have got worse, disapearing to 0 and the oil light coming on when hot & at idle in traffic!!

 

Anyone tell me where this is on an HR (313) engine, is it a doable job at home and the best place to get one.

 

Thanks

Please tell me you have checked the oil level with the dipstick

 

I'm sure someone will be along soon on the switch location.
