It won't give you a diagnosis for the problem. It just knows pressure is down, but it could be thinking that because of a faulty pressure switch.

Going to be honest this oil was never meant to stay in as long as it has it, was meant as a quick flush out then some good stuff in. 3-4 mounths its been in the car probably only done 1000miles or so. Been topping it up regularly with castrole semi synthetic 10w40.

Putting that oil in won't have been the cause (it's the correct spec/viscocity) so don't beat yourself up over it.
Any idea what it had been run on previously to that?

I havent got the foggiest. All i know is the previous owner was 70 plus and the oil had alot of mayo in it from moisture getting in ( i think through the oil filter somehow as it was rammed with the stuff and gasket was broken if i remember) change oil and filter no sign of the problem not even a drip of the stuff under the oil cap after its been standing for a week or more.
Can anyone show me what the correct oil sensor looks like for my h22a as there seems to be alot of different once??

They both look the same to me except pictures taken other way round. They are only a few pence off. Both say for bb1 h22a so should work. I'd go for the top one £8.52 mate

I'd wait for some one else to reply on here first to confirm it.
