Could be a poor oil pump, worn bearings, wrong grade of oil (too thin), faulty oil pressure sensor.

Yes i have been thinking, i will fit an oil pump its an external one and relatively easty to fit, just thought it might be a common faut other than the usual engine ware,thanks for the reply!!
Could be a faulty sender unit to the oil gauge. I would check that before going to the expence of fitting a new pump.
