Can anyone give me some hints on an oil problem? I have a 1998 Disco
300TDI.The symptoms are: - Start up (engine cold), no problem - after about half hour's drive (engine now reasonably warm) the oil light comes on a tickover (c700-750 RPM) - a short while later, I cannot get the oil light to come on at all, so my friendly local garage (who run a 110 with a 300TDI) think I'm going mad. - yesterday, we drove for about half an hour at 70mph and when I slowed down, the oil light came on at about 1100RPM
I've had the car in the garage a couple of times over this, but the mechanic says that he can't find anything wrong - the engine sounds OK; pressure readings are OK. He thinks it might be the pressure switch - does this seem reasonable? It has Shell oil of the correct grade and a new filter (first step was an oil change).
I'm open to suggestions . . .
