I was told the the oil pump is either working or not working? Can it be working but pumping at a reduced pressure because it is worn? Also, is the fron cover for a D2 interchageable wth that of a 1997-98 D1? Thanks in advance. Pal | ||

Oil pumps only wear due to lack of oil changes and dirty oil. I would be checking the relief valve is not stuck. Low oil pressure can also relate to worn cam bearings. I often work on an 82 model Range rover with nearly 500k km on the clock and it hasn't had the motor touched apart from servicing. | ||

Have you done an oil pressure check at the sending unit? Results? | ||

The oil pressure check was in spec... but the problem seems to be intermittent..the oil light comes on at times I can not check pressure... that's why I was wondering if the oil pump could start and stop working. P.S. I changed the sending unit already to no awail... does the 4.0 litres discos have a pressure relief valve that is servicable... my dealer told me they don't have one???? | ||

As far as I no the they are the same as previous models. The relief valve is under the flat hex head cap on the right side of the pump looking from the front. | ||
