Is there a port to add a mechanical gauge then as it's pretty tight down there?

Makes sense with the wiring, closed circuit until pressure is made then goes to open circuit to switch light/bulb off. Maybe i will tr and rig something up to test the switch as you suggest.

Thanks very much I shall have a look over the next couple of days.

OK then the wiring sounds right so its either a knackered switch or no oil pressure. Is it possible to test the switch? Is there a procedure for priming the pump with jelly? or a way or testing oil pressure. I have no idea what has gone on with the engine in the past but don't want to run it...

I know this isn't a Range Rover but I also know there are some really good engine guys who look at this section as I have a Suffix A and they have been helpful in the past plus the engine is the same :-) The series 3 I recently purchased has a rover V8 transplanted into it and it's been a...

The series 3 I recently purchased has a rover V8 transplanted into it and it's been a wiring nightmare as it was never completed by the previous owner. One of my last issues is the oil light will not go out (at all) so I have a few questions. It looks to me that the switch is "closed" on start...

Blackburn, It doesn't look the same but as I am having a hardtop on it maybe I should just mount it on the back door anyway as it will save all that weight on the bonnet on the "off chance" I need to look under the bonnet. I think you've pointed me in the right direction as I was blinkered on...

I have listed this in the military part of the forum as well but it doesn't seem to be so well used as this section so I thought I would list it her also as some one may have come across them whilst searching for other parts, Thanks for your reply.

Just purchased a series III lightweight and would like some help with some part numbers or help where I can find numbers? They are all bonnet parts for spare wheel. Centre U bolt thing that wheel fits over (sorry don't know proper names) Strap to hold on wheel three off (strap staples) that...

It's been modified " a lot" including rover v8 so just trying to get it on the road for now.

I have just bought a lightweight which has an electric fuel pump mounted under the drivers seat and I am thinking of moving it due to the noise. ( A bit like mounting it on a drum!) Has anyone got any recommendations of where to move the pump/return valve & filter to?

I have a lightweight which has had a v8 fitted into and although not running yet I have noticed in many picture of series and lightweights with v8 fitted many people have added air vents in what looks like a position to get rid of some "hot air" can I ask are these essential or partially...

Sell the 110 as you can always convert the 90 to have more seats if required and put it back to a truck cab at a later date (if it's financial choice). However if its really just down to space I would sell the beamer as although it's not worth much it gives you the space plus saves you the tax...

Can I buy it and the get an MOT myself and the apply for a V5? You see lots of cars on ebay that have old style v5 will these need to get MOT'S then? Does anyone know where there is any info on this?

I am looking at buying another series land rover and the owner has the old style v5 in the previous owners name and he said when he sent it off to dvla a couple of years ago to get it in his name the dvla said he would need to get it MOT'd before they would issue a new one as it's been off the...

Looking at MOT link I think the doors will still have to open but I can remove seats and belts. Especially if the commercial you had still had opening rear doors.

If I took out my rear seats, seatbelts and secured my rear doors so they will not open would this fail MOT? I understand that you can buy a discovery "commercial" without rear seats etc? Your thoughts please as I would like to make the room as I never use the rear seats..

Thanks for the parts book.
