Don't drive your car!
If by 'loud' you mean there's knocks and rumbles - that sounds like serious damage caused by zero or low oil pressure. If there's no terminal damage yet caused by a lack of oil pressure .. there soon will be.

Don't drive your car. Get somebody qualified to have a look at it first. Your oil pressure warning light is on because there's no oil pressure. You're liable to destroy the engine (very quickly) if you run it with no oil pressure.

The first thing you should do is check your engine oil level. Make sure that the oil level reaches 'full' on the dipstick.

If your oil level has been unacceptably low - top up and start the engine. The oil warning light should go out within a couple of seconds. If not - it points at a problem elsewhere. Don't run your engine with the oil light on. Get a second opinion.

because sometimes the sending unit wich is the sensor for fuel level will read fuel at fuel gage when there is not fuel in the thank i seem this many times even experienced mechanics had replace fuel pump and then they find that there is not fuel in the tank

SOURCE: volvo v40 stalling when idling

If the car shakes and stalls at lights stop signs etc. I would check the egr ( exhaust recirculator valve) first this valve should open when in driving mode and close immediately when engine comes back to idle. to check this find the valve on the intake manifold ( looks like a mushroom) remove vaccuum line and plug hose drive the car and see if it fixes the problem. If it does get one from local parts store. Most brands such as standard are universal and come with baffles that must be installed. do not leave the valve disconnected the engine will "ping" when driving forcing you to buy higher octane gas. It is also illegal to remove this unit for emission reasons.

you will have to have the car diagnosed with a code reader most garages have them prices from £20-90 to diagnose the fault + parts.

THE Idle when put on drive the car shaking and shut off

If you are getting a check engine light check the codes. I would think either you have a faulty throttle body or the oil trap is plugged up.

Daytime driving lights

turn the lights off at the headlamp switch, hold the high beam flash stalk on and turn the light switch all the way on and then all the way off again. This toggles the DRL on my 2004 V40.

cannot remember if you have to have the ignition on (engine not running) or engine off.

give it a fiddle and see what happens.
