Just an update changed spring in oil pressure relief valve and now running at 27 psi which is correct to the book , strangely thou the book states that the free length of the spring should be 68mm , the one I took out measured 45mm & the one I put in from land rover measured 55mm .

Light humoured yea right o more like arsey

After about 30 minutes once shes warmed up but pretty much creeps slowly up to 40 psi after start up

Around 55 psi james

Your 1st mistake was to presume that I hadn't already checked the pressure gauge with another gauge. As I said shes running sweet no knocking , and like I said will be looking at pressure relief value . Just after positive input not criticism cheers

Just a thought had the same prob on my 90 . When turning the key instead of moving the button up wards most of the turning force was being wasted trying to push the button sideways and not upward so I fixed a bracket screwed to the inner skin which prevents any sideways movement on the button ...

Yes it's illuminated sorry unable to post a link not that computer savvy

Hi all Been trying to wire a switch into the starter relay circuit as a anti theft prevention. So I figured I could cut into the wire which feeds power from the crank position on the ignition barrel which goes to position 85 on the starter relay , so I wired a switch in as above. the switch has...
