Will have to wait for an expert on this one coz I am on the edge of my knowledge - but I think there are different pressure specs or sensors for different engines. Hopefully your clocks have come from an engine with a higher pressure spec/sensor and there is nothing wrong with the actual pressure.

hi thanks for the reply
ive changed the oil pressure switch in side of the block the two in the top of the oil cooler and its still flashing
its strange car still runs fine not using any oil no smoke or nasty noises still gettin 39 to 42 mpg
ive noticed the oil temp on the mfa takes for ages to register anything then its only about 50 to 52
ill try an engine flush and oil and filter change and see what happens
ill also change the coolant and flush that out aswell
