Dodgy sensor or a bad connection on the sensor, possibly the wiring between the sensor and the gauge :?

Either way hammer ftw :twisted:

Cheers Paddy, if its the sensor can you get at it from under the motor?

Should think so, just cant remember which sensor on the block it is that reads the pressure :?

I did ask which sensor is which in a thread on here somewhere with pics of my engine for reference

It's the sensor on the black of the block above the oil pump.

Can get to it if you take drivers side wheel off or from underneath IIRC
