Hi all 300 tdi with 163k on the clock . Recently fitted a oil pressure gauge which is showing 40 psi at idle should be around the 25 psi Mark , any ways according to land rover high pressure cud be due to either a blockage in the oil ways , a blockage in the crankcase ventilation system or a fault with the pressure release valve . Motor runs a performs pretty much as it should regularly serviced as per manual.
I recently cleaned the crankcase ventilation canister.
As previously I didn't know about the high oil pressure I had a look at the checking the easiest potential cause 1st and on checking the pipes for blockages coming of the canister I found the one that goes to the air intake to turbo to be disconnected ( possible due to previous owner maybe not wanting dirty air recycling back into system) anyway reconnected , not turned her over yet as also part way through replacing bolts on rear of transfer box to rear prop . Any ideas or has any one had high oil pressure issues
