its a real bastard to get to.

Is there space enough for one of the normal vauxhall pressure sensors?

Should be fine yeah, that looks just a normal pressure sender you use for a oil guage/digidash, should fit fine.

Best way get to it is get the drivers wheel off and through the drivers wheel arch.

Do you just need swap the std engine pressure sender for a different one?

Just get a aftermarket sender with the same thread as the original vaux one.

The standard one is not actually a sensor, it is purely a switch, so if there is any oil pressure at all, it activates a switch, which turns off the oil light on the dash.

If he has a digidash oil pressure guage working then its a 2pin sensor.

Std there a 1pin switch.
