Well i give up. did the valve got to sliding like a godd'um. Pack the gears with loads of p.g and i means loads. fired it up and NO OIL PRESSURE again. had a look at taking the timing cover off but have not a clue how to do it. havent even got a socket to get the crank pully off and see if the keys is still in place. So got no choice but to give up before i start hitting it with a big hammer. Why is it when you need the car it packs up on you. I am running out of time as i will be at work monday and down devon for 2 to 3 days and i need the car for a job interview in warrington on thursday and i cant get time off work as another driver is off. So if anyone got nothing better to do tomorrow (sunday) and knows v8's please come and give me a hand as i havent a clue.

Ok mark the position of your dizzy with a scribed line on both the dizzy and the engine so it goes back in the right place, then remove it.

The oil pump drive is taken from the bottom of the dizzy, you need to check this is going round properly, you can make a tool from an old screwdriver or something to whizz the oil pump round with a drill before the engine turns over.

If there is no pressure it could be the pick up pipe is blocked or damaged too.

Has the PJ moved from the oil pump body yet?

With the oil cooler et el in the oil pickup circuit it takes a while to build up oil pressure.  Is there any evidence that the oil is moving at all? oil in the filter, oil in the oil cooler pipes?

gtomo2:
had a very small amount of oil in filter. The disco dont have a oil cooler on it that i can see or nothing connected to the filter area were it would be. I cranked the engine over by hand and saw the gears turning. Just thinking would waynes oil tretment make the oil to to thick to go up the filter in the oil sump. will have to walk to the shop and get some more p.j as not got any left.

drmike:
Don't you need to fill teh oil filter, then pack the oil pump, then if you have that tool to spin the oil pump via the dizzie dogs then you look somewhere to see if oil is pumping. I had to do all this and the tool was the saviour here.

There is also a description somewhere of how to prime the pump by forcing oil up through the filter I think.
