Thanks. Regarding the oil level check on your Astra, was it significantly low, and did topping it up resolve the issue temporarily or permanently? I suspect the sensor but I want to rule out simple causes.

It was significantly low. Topping it up helped for a while, but the underlying leak meant I eventually had to get a proper fix at the workshop. They replaced a seal, and while at it the sensor too. I would check the level, and go to the workshop if it's not that.

Appreciate the advice. I had the oil level checked. It was fine. I took it to the workshop, and as suspected, it was the oil pressure sensor. Repair came to 365€. Thanks for pointing me toward the likely cause.

Sounds familiar. I had similar symptoms on my old Vauxhall Astra. Engine light on, gearbox acting up. First thing I'd check is the oil level. Is it low? Otherwise it may be the oil sensor itself. Had to replace mine
