Where is this located? Another thread mentioned just above the oil filter - but I can't find it!!

It all looks a bit tight in that location - if it is there do you have any tips to help replacing it - ie which bits should I remove from around it to make the job easier.

It is just above the oil filter, single terminal plug.

you might be after this then Clicky

At the moment I get the red oil can dash warning light come on even though the oil level is fine.
