I had to read that a few times to understand what you're getting at!
What problems are you actually getting? Oil light coming on?
If so then does it sound tappy, or any worse than normal? Have you tried another pressure sensor?
As for the pick-up pipe, it can get blocked up, it could be worth dropping the sump to have a look. But it depends on the exact symptoms you're having.
As for changing the oil pump, it's a case of cambelt off, sump off, rear belt covers off, crank pulley off, then you have access.

Sorry i dont always put what other people need to no.
Ok the light is flickering at idle an she is defo not getting oil to top end. Tapping. Now the one thing that am thinking is she was sat for a long time and yesterday she done same thing but for 20sec then cleared up so am now starting to think maybe pick up pipe (well hoping lol)

Right okay that helps a lot!
First step would be to take the pick-up pipe off and make sure that's clear.
If it is and you still have the problem then you might well be looking at an oil pump.
I've have 2 oil pumps fail on me now. One time wrecked an engine, the other time I was lucky!
Managed to get a brand new GM pump for my rebuilt engine. I'm cursed with oil problems. Whether it leaks it, burns it or doesn't have pressure lol.
