Thanks for replying so quickly. 3am is not my best time. The engine is actually 1.4 TSI. Thanks to using the syphon method to get out the old oil and so getting insufficient out, there may have been as much as 2.5 litres excess. The engine speed would be determined by the gear engaged? If so driving in London traffic I would have been in 3rd and 4th mostly. I couldn't hope to more accurate having kept my eyes on the road (while my wife fretted loudly in my ears)

Octavia 2 TSI 1.3 manual 2010 Due to ineptitude and rushing the job I over filled my vehicle with oil. I started my journey and the oil warning light immediately came and a warning sounded. I travelled about 5 miles in all before I could return to base, my speed did not exceed 30-35 mph. What damage am I likely to have done? It has been suggested that oil may have been forced past seals into various areas where it should never be, like the crankshaft.

Now my additional reply expressing thanks to pikpilot has vanished.

And I should have added my thanks to pikpilot

code reader shows wheel speed sensor mechanical failure OR a sporadic electrical fault/implausible signal. I can't identify the fuse to check it. The warning light shows more often than not. 13 year old car so probs expected.
