I wonder if any1 can help.
 
Does anybody know if it is easy to change the oil pressure switch, also does anybody know the part no for the same.
 
The manual seems to involve removing the starter motor the filter ect.

No one seems to have replied and I don't have the 2.3, however....
 
You are looking for what is probably a mushroom shaped object with a single spade terminal and a single wire going to it. Below the mushrooms head, there is usually a hexagon onto which an open ended spanner can be used to unscrew the switch. A small amount of oil will likely be lost as it is removed. The thread is usually a taper, so it will seal itself as you refit a new one.

I’m not sure but I think it’s the one awkward to get at here:

If it is then removing the filter makes it easier, but it’s very awkward, I think the engine mount is in the way.
