my oil light pressure light comes on when my car is at rest yet when I am driving it goes off or if I keep the rev count up slightly it is a vauxhall astra 56 plate.Any ideas what this is most likely to be.
First be sure the oil level is correct and you are using the correct weight oil for that engine and climate. Then check that the engine idle speed is correct. Then check the oil pressure sending unit for accuracy with temporally installing a manual oil pressure gauge. If all that checks okay, you probably have a tired engine with worn bearings and oil pump.

The location of a vauxhall astra transmission oil filler?
For the Astra G (Mk 4) models, the gearbox does not have a specific oil filler hole. The reversing light switch can however be unscrewed for this purpose, but as it is quite a small hole, and not in a very convenient position, it is helpful to use an oil can with a flexible spout. There is an oil level plug which must also be removed to ensure that the gearbox is not overfilled. This is located by the left hand drive shaft, and can be difficult to access. The operation should, of course, be carried out with the car on the level.
