I haven't done anything. All I know is engine revs up to 5,000RPM. Anyway, I got the car down to him earlier, and he told me what he thought when I met up with him later. In a nutshell - The oil pump in knackered. The pressure gets lower and lower as the engine revs, and goes really low...

Nobody so far as I know! There was somebody trying (and failing!) to get up a hill earlier today and I sped past at 40 in the V8 lookling really happy without helping, so maybe they took it as a personal insult ? :lol:

How embarrassing! :lol: My 200TDi Discovery loves snow! Honestly, she handles better on the white stuff than on the black tarmac! Probably due to the Michelin Off-Road tyres she has fitted!

I went out tonight to find my 1990 Land Rover Discovery 3.5 V8 with 4 flat tyres and a 4 feet pile of snow on the bonnet. Arseholes! No lasting damage done I don't think, but still!

My mate has a computer thing that plugs into the ECU that will give a digital read out of the oil pressure. So I'll take the Landy over to his tomorrow and get him so give me his opinion as he was a mechanic for over 20 years!

The governor for my 200TDi is 5,000RPM. I checked the oil level as soon as I got home. It is bang inbetween the Max and Min.

I've just came back from a drive and things are getting worse. I got onto a patch of road with no snow so I decided to give the Landy a good rev since she'd been crawling around at 1,500RPM all day in deep snow! And as soon as the rev counter needle passed the 4,500RPM mark the oil light...

As long as it isn't causing the engine any problems I'll just leave it. Though, the engine does seem to "click" and run rough until the light goes out.

OK I'm not 5! But usually the oil light goes out in a split second after starting in any temperature!

Yep it was warmer.

A bit more detail on what damage it is doing (if any) and what is causing it please!?

I started the car up this morning (-3*C) and noticed the oil pressure light took 2-3 seconds to go out after the car started idling... The car has 10W40 oil in it that was changed less then 1,000 miles ago, and this has never happened before. I started the car up again a few times during...

They do have Cam Belts, not Chains or Gears. And I think they need changed every 100,000 miles, but could be wrong! My Discovery 200TDi has 113,412 miles on the clock and has the original belt, so it is due a change! But I don't have the time to change it right now, so I'll just pray the...

I can turn my steering wheel about 2-3 inches from side to side while driving and the Landy 200TDi still cruises along in a dead ahead position! I guess there is a steering box issue because all the joints and bushes are fine. It doesn't really bother me, I just have to prepare myself when...

My 200TDi fired up with just one glow plug cycle!

Well my stock '93 200 2.5TD Disco gets on average 27-31MPG. 27 when I drive like a bad outta hell (rev to redline before shifting up) and 31 when I drive like a granny (shifting at dead on 3,000RPM).

Well, after sitting 2 weeks the fuel in the engine had all went back to the tank, so it took a bit of cranking to start her up, but she did eventually in a ploom of grey smoke! After warming the engine up for a few minutes I put it into R and backed up. The tyres hit the snow with a thud and I...

The snow is up to 8" now where I live, so I decided to try my luck and see if the '93 Land Rover Discovery 2.5TD I4 could make it out... And it did! I even made it up a long steep hill without a single spin! I love my Landy! :) I haven't tried the ole '89 Discovery 3.5 V8 Automatic yet...

I have the 3.5!!

I've got The Guzzler (1990/1991 Land Rover Discovery 3.5 V8 EFi) booked in for its MOT later today, so before it goes in I want to change the oil. But I don't know what oil it takes!? I assume 10W40 ? It has over 100,000 miles (infact it has 267,000 miles!) so I will have to use regular oil...
