gtomo2:
give the disco (3.5 v8 efi) a quick blast doen the road (4000rpm for about 2 mins) all was fine parked up at home. Give it the normal checks all was ok. Just gone to start her up and the oil light stays lite and you can hear that no oil is getting pumped around. any ideas were to start looking as i need the car for work tomorrow (i start a 3.45 So no bus).
thanks

Usual thing is to check the wires to the pressure switch, if these are ok then remove the switch, clean & re-fit. If this is ok the next thing to check is the oil pump. If you know that you have no oil pressure then you may need to move directly to the oil pump. Hope this is of some help, remember to pack the oil pump with petroleum jelly before you re-start.

gtomo2:
Its defo the pump you can hear the engine running very bad witrh no oil running around. plus checked the pressure switch thats ok. looking at the rave cd its a job and a half to remove the pump. unless anyone knows of a easy way as the rave cd is remove dissy, front engine cover, and a load of other bits.

andygod:
You have to remove the timing cover etc but it’s a fairly easy job that doesn't take long. You’ll need a new oil pump by the sound of it.

gtomo2:
Yea think it is a new pump. just put a new filter on it and turned the engine over and no oil in the new filter so pump could be kapput or what drives the pump thinking that a gear could be broken.
