Oil warning light

I have a 98 300tdi. 175k.
Literally within two hours of buying it the oil light came on, and would thereafter come in once the engine was warm. A new switch was fitted and I've put 30k on it since, all good.
For piece of mind you can get a splitter at the switch connection to go to a pressure gauge in the cab.

I do fancy do that. As you say, an extra piece of mind!
 
+1 on the gauge. IMHO Durite capilliary or don't bother - you can guess how I know this ;)

here's a linky:-

( though, the above has a 12 foot capilliary - and I'm pretty sure they do a shorter one which would be better ( unless you're riding behind in a trailer ;) o_O )
 
If you fit a port for a pressure transducer make sure its the right thread for the housing, the housing is alloy and you can easily strip the thread, I used one from a rrc v8 in mine with the gauge from the same vehicle. Buy Land Rover specific if you are not sure.
