My disco has thrown up a bit of a mistery.
It's a long story but will keep it short and to the relevant parts.
It started when after owning it for a few weeks and talking to Chris about his oil light problems, I noticed I had no oil light. I checked the bulb and replaced it with a working one then noticed the plug did not seem to have a wire going into the clocks to where the oil light went.
This what prompted me to get the gauges.
All seemed fine, was getting 55-60psi when cold then about 40psi when hot.
On Sunday loaded the family and bikes into the landy and followed Drizz in his 335d for a day by the beech.
Had to do about 80mph to keep up on A12 when the oil light started to flicker.
Remember it does not light up on ignition and now I have changed the sender and run a new wire, so the old wire is not connected.
At the same time I noticed the pressure was down to about 20psi, lower than it should be.
I checked level at Tesco and it was on minimum so put in a ltr.
Light did not come back but pressure stayed low that day, around 25psi hot.
It was eerie to say the least, is there another sensor to check oil level?
Yesterday pressure has returned to origional, I will be doing an oil and filter change very soon.
