Question Low oil pressure problem ! Need help !!!

Hello. I need help, cause I have a problem on my 1996 Vanden Plas, 4.0 litres.
Since few weeks, I saw the ''Low Oil Pressure'' Light on, and the Oil pressure tach does'nt work anymore since that ! I would like to know if it is possible that can be just a fuse problem ? The engine run very well, and I checked the oil deep stick, and the oil level is good. I don't drive it since the time I remarked that , cause I'm scare to damage the engine. When the ex-owner sold me the car, he did'nt have the owner manual, so I don't have the fuse diagram to check if everything is alright ! Where can I buy one used ? Or if somebody here can scan a 1996 VandenPlas owner Manual, and could send me it by email that's should be very appreciated ! I really need it, cause that's my first Jaguar, and I don't want to sell the car only after 1 year I own the car... Or what can be the problems with this warning light on ???????? Help me please !!!!!!!!!! I would like to drive it on the road, not looking it on the driveway...

Sounds like an oil pressure switch/sender/sensor has failed, or its associated wiring.

This oil pressure sender is typically threaded into the block somewhere.

I imagine the X300 specific section to this forum would be a better place to post this question though:
