Down the right side of the motor below the intake manifold should be a large round widget with a pair of pipes/hoses coming out of it. This is the oil cooler.
In front of this is the Oil Pressure Switch. I don't think there are any hoses here - it's an electronic sender of the oil pressure.
That means (to my mind) that the ECU already knows the oil pressure and with a Scangauge you might be able to just read that info off in real time. Krafty? You got one of those widgets. What say you?

well ive started to put in the oil pressure gauge. i removed original sender unit and screwed it into a t piece and refitted. then fitted the sender unit for the gauge into the other branch of the t piece. not a whole heap of room but not too bad. what kind of pressure should i be getting. im getting 20psi at idle and around 50 at 3000rpm.

No idea what pressure you should be getting but that sounds like a reasonable pressure.
Any motors i have worked on seem to be in that kind of range.

i did read as a rule of thumb that it should be 10psi for every 1000rpm. just wasnt 100% sure if diesels were different to petrol engines. cheers
At idle you should be seeing "more than 17.4psi" and at 2000rpm you should be seeing "more than 36.3psi". Page 32 of LU.PDF.

thanks tony. just found something in my gregories manual. a little bit less than what youve put up but close. it says at idle above 116kpa at 2000rpm above 234kpa. mines giving 18psi at idle and up to 60-70 driving
