Yes, there is enough oil in the sump and the delay varies only a litte if the car stood for a week or a minute.

Should I replace the oil pump or is there anything else preventing pressure coming up immediately ? (48k Miles on the clock)

Any hints/ideas much appreciated !

My gauge is a bit sluggish too. I had assumed perhaps it was electrically damped to keep the needle steady.

Its driven via the MFU... ooo
