Oil STOP warning

The red oil warning and stop light stays on on my C5 2.0 HDi for about 2 miles when starting from cold, have checked the oil level which is fine.
Could this be a failing oil pump or just a faulty sensor - any easy way of checking?

More than likely the sensor but it needs to be checked. The only way is to pop a pressure gauge on in place of the sensor. Any good Stealer will have the kit to do this..

Worth having done for peace of mind really...

Does for me too. I spent a lot of my formative years looking at it as a TV Engineer.

Oh the fun of using it to do the convergence setup on early colour TVs and then having the card go off a minute before you'd finished

We tarted up an old U-Matic and recorded it to play back in the workshop.
For road jobs, we already had the non-interlaced Grundig generator.
We asked the bosses to get a Philips PM5544 generator, but all we ever got were green smiles.

Any complaints about convergence now … straight in the bin.
