RESULT!!!!!!

Fiat did indeed fix the problem.
No more engine warning light and no more beeping at me when starting it.

Very pleased.

Thats great news !!

Was it a common failure.. or 'one of those things..?'

Judging by this post it appears to be a commonish problem.

The guy at Fiat also said they had never replaced an oil pump but a fair few solenoids on my type of engine.
