Hi there, in gained a strange coming from my engine and the oil light has came on even tho it is full of, Last night I was on my way back home and my oil light started to flicker so I did the obvious pulled over and stopped the engine left it for half an hour to let everything settle checked all the oil level and as expected oil level was correct, so am I correct in thinking this is showing a loss of oil pressure? as I was only 2 mile from home I decided to limp back but on the way back I noticed a strange noise coming from the engine. Can anyone give me some advise on this?
1) replace oil pressure switch.
2) get oil pressure checked.
3) come back with results.
Do not drive the car!
Oil volume and oil pressure are two totally separate things.

No comment until the other checks have been carried out.
What sort of strange noise is if?
Lucky you didn't get turbo runaway 
.
Will a blown turbo lead to pressure loss, while it has still plenty of oil?
Irrespective of reason, if you have been running it in low oil pressure, it may well have done further damage.
