Default wire for oil pressure switch

Can anyone tell me where the wire for the oil pressure switch is on a (LHD) cossie 4x4? In What part of the loom is it, injectors, starter motor, or somewhere else? The car has the wire disconnected as it has a remote oil pressure sensor fitted, but I also want to connect the oil pressure switch.

It's part of the car loom, and leaves the loom with the starter solenoid wire, it's green and another colour, if you are wanting both you will need a t piece adapter to connect them.

It's green and brown on a 3dr, possibly the same colour on yours.

Does it have a positive ignition feed to it?

Yes it's a switched live feed and the switch supplys the ground.

Yes, it should be brown/green. I checked from the top and also from underneath, but I can't find such a wire coming from the same part of the engine loom as the starter motor wires.

I'll probably put an additional wire in from behind the clocks to the external pressure switch I have, then the problem is also solved.
