strange oil pressure

<< < (2/5) > >>

muddy landy:
I had oil light flickering on my Defender changed oil pressure switch first as it is only about £3. Still had same problem ended up taking engine apart traced fault to number 3 and 4 bearings on the camshaft had moved forward. This lowers oil pressure. This is rare but can happen on 200 tdi. :whothedaddy:  

muddysteve:
there has been a recent thread on landroveraddict about this

mine ony seemed to take 4/5 litres on a oil change and turned out my dipstick tube had slipped down in the sump, when i moved it to the right height and put 7l of oil in its now hell of a lot quieter and runs 10x better

200tdi by the way

tonycougar:
How can I tell what is the correct height?

Range Rover Blues:
You could try looking at a manul to find out the correct capacity :?

tonycougar:
I have done. It says 7 litres but I have only ever got 5 litres out.
So how do I know if the dipstick has dropped down?
