Thanks turboman, I'm willing to give things a try, but wary I'm out of my depth now, so it'd be nice to leave it to someone with more experience now, even if it might cost me an arm and a leg! One thing I forgot to say, I've taken a washer out of the oil filter housing that sat on the...

Thanks, I'll have a look at them :)

10w40 was synthetic, and the new 15w40 was mineral. And yeah, I completely cleaned it down, and inspected it pretty closely. I'm confident that unless it was an absolutely minute fracture, I would've seen it It's a 200tdi and I'm used to a small 1.8 mx5 nb engine, it always sounds noisy and...

Initially used a test gauge after the low pressure light remained on at all times (also swapped the oil pressure sender), and plumbed in a perm gauge in the cab after confirming low pressure on the test gauge Filled up a year ago with 10w40, and last month with 15w40, no change to oil pressure...

Low pressure at all times, much worse at hot. Talking 3-5 psi at hot idle, and 20psi at hot high revs. Low temp starts at 35-40psi on revs, and around 20psi idle, but drops quickly. I've had the sump off (no chunks, but some fine metal particles) and inspected pump, looked fine. Oil change and...

Hi, I'm looking for a landy (defender 200tdi) mechanic to help with oil pressure problems. I'm currently suspecting cam shaft bearing, but have gotten to the point where I want someone who knows what they're doing to take a look, and hopefully quote for repair cost.. I have searched around on...
