Finally got round to buying a new pressure switch. Then I started to look for the old one. Finally found it towards the back of the engine, about as far away from the oil filter as it's possible to be without being on the gearbox! It's just about visible from under the car and pretty much totally inaccessible without some serious dismantling.
Now changing the switch would be great, as would be the fitting of a pressure gauge, but given the location of the switch neither option is immediately practical.
My worry is that even if I get the old switch out, getting the new one in, oil tight and working would be seriously challenging.
I might ask a garage if they can help. IF the car was on a ramp, and IF a very flexible socket extension was to hand then it MIGHT be do-able.
I really don't know what to do now - still, the switch was only £8!
