guys i have looked at the manuals and is the pump just a couple of gear looking things?i think im going to chane all the oil related bits ie pump strainer switch etc,has anyone ever changed an oil pump?, cheers matt

right then chaps how much of a job is it for me to replace the oil pump? im going to attempt that as the engine did start ok the following day, but didnt run it for very long, thats why i thought she stalled and not seized. any info would be great, cheers again matt

chaps there was no smoking from the exhaust, the only smoking oil was when i took off the oil filler cap, the oil also smelt a bit burnt, cheeers matt

i will try the oil pressure switch this weekend, but would that make the car stall if the switch i faulty?, as i said there was no noise just the old girl just cut out so rolled her gracefully to the verge, cheers matt
