Golf oil pressure woes (MK2 8V GTi)

The Golf's playing up. Must be because I've polished it.
When the oil's warmed up to 80 odd or so, the oil pressure lamp comes on
if the engine's allowed to idle. Rev it at all, and it goes back off.
I've previously had the buzzer come on a couple of times during normal
driving, (ie, above a couple of thousand revs, oil not stinking hot and
not cornering like a loon) but it's always gone off after a second. Oil
level is fine.
Pointers on whether this sounds like oil pump, dodgy electronics or the
bottom end of the engine dying would be nice.
Doki, do you want another one?
I know of a Mintish one just lapsed MOT H reg 400 quid.
17" rims not modded at all, bodywork is stunning, black, 2.0 8v needs
handbrake cable, but drives fine.
I got some pics if anyone else is interested.
