Hi all, been a silent member for ages managing to solve all problems till now from searches, but I'm hoping for some help please.
1999 disco 2 td5.
Car been fine for a while, diving home last night on dual carriageway, oil light came on, no flickering just on solid. Engine stuttering funny whiz pop noise (!?) and big loss of power, it was a very nasty place to stop with loads of traffic around so I pushed on to a lay by about 1/3 mile down the road.
It was clear engine was very hot, had about 1/2 litre oil in car so put it in, left it 20 mins to cool down, oil level was a little low but not below lower line.
Tried engine and it fired up fine, made it to garage about a mile down the road but very under powered, plugged in my Hawkeyes that was in car, no error codes at all. Bought a bit more oil, topped it up again and limped home the last mile.
Not sure where to go from here, does this sound like turbo oil oil pump or more sinister?
Any help gladly taken, thanks in advance.
