Oil warning light on for no apparent reason

My 1984 323i is running nicely, but the engine oil light has come on and stays on. There is plenty of oil and the car is running fine . The oil and filter were changed about 4 months ago. I can see no evidence of an oil leak or a damaged head gasket. My next step will be to replace the sender. Anything else I should look for?

Perhaps the oil filter you fitted doesn't have a non-return valve in it? It probably is just the sender though...
