    I thought this
    "That being said, in the many many times I have dealt with these oil pumps I have seen one lose its prime"

    If the motor doesn't sound like it's starving for oil, beleive me u'll know cause it'll seize pretty quick, it will be the oil pressure switch.

    Customer brought it here in desperation. Turned out to be a blocked engine oil cooler. Replace radiator problem gone!

    Quick update; pulled out the oil cooler today, it was blocked. Forced some air into it and brown muddy looking oil started coming out! Looks like it was never cleaned out after had head gaskets were replaced. Previous owner said he had all the work done at a LR specialist garage in Burwood..Oil pressure problem seems to be sorted. Just going to pull sump cover off to have a look no damage was done.
    Cheers
