2008 Vauxhall Vivaro stop & oil warning dash lights
Year: 2008
Variant: 2.0 cdti
I have a similar problem, it will tick over for a hour with no noises, etc, as soon as I drive it the red oil light comes on with stop! I have just changed the oil and filter, I was hoping to check the oil pressure, but I cannot find the pressure switch, it is hiding very well.

Is it not down by the oil filter ? There are also problems with the oil pump , pick up on that vehicle

Thank you, I have now located the oil pressure switch, and you were correct, it is on top of the filter housing, I had to remove top of the bumper and other plastic panels, but I can now see it !! Going to check the pressure reading tomorrow
