I have read a few different statements about what to torque the oil sensor/sensor/switch up to. It is an m20 motor. I cannot find it in my Haynes manual either. Any suggestions?

30 - 40 Nm, according to Autodata. I'd go for the lower end of that.

Yeah 40NM sounds a bit much for a fragile looking bit of kit. Thanks. I’ll go 30NM
