200tdi oil pressure light stays on a bit after starting.

(1/2) > >>

Tommo:
when i fire it up the oil pressure light stays on for a second or two which i never remember it doing when i bought it.

worrying.

never comes on whilst running once its gone off.

Figured it could be a sticky sensor but i fear its the oil pump or even worse the crank!

not stopping me driving it but i dont like it.

land-def-90:
had a similer prob with a series 3 a few years ago, a new sensor fixed it,

Bob696:
mine does that ... always has ... owned her for over 4 years and no engine problems

Range Rover Blues:
Sensor faulty

oil by-pass valve sticky or bust

oil needs changing

wrong oil filter (some have anti-backflow valves in them)
crank bearing wear

hole in head gasket too big

whoah there!

right, sensor could be faulty.

not sure what an oil bypass valve is.

oils about 2000 miles old.

oil filter was a britpart one

and for gods sake i hope its not the bearings. runs smooth though.
