Yes just seing what’s out there. Long shot but if I can find a motor that’s aftermarket it would be ideal
that disco in the ad was my 04 it had a brand new ab engine until my wife wrote off the truck
whoever got that motor from the scrappers scored huge

do you know a good landrover shop in these areas.

 

I have no personal experience with any shops.

 

Did you fill the filter with oil before you put it on?

 

Yes half way. Why do you ask

 

If the bearings were marginal a dry startup with an empty filter could have finished them off? Just guessing

 

Funny you say that. When I changed the oil I didn’t fill the filter all the way like I normally do because I find when I do some Spills out when I screw it in
so this time I just put a bit in
the oil light usually comes on for about 2 seconds normally after I do the oil change
this time it stayed on for about 3 seconds longer
I had a weird feeling about it

 

That shouldn't have done it honestly. Heck most people just slap the oil filters on without a drop in them. Anything under 10sec is considered normal for the oil light upon a cold start/oil change. How many miles are on this LR?

 

Only 88000 miles
everything was perfect before this happen
that’s the upsetting part
maintenance operating temps were all good. How does this happen

 

Something wore out internally. It could be a cracked/broken oil pump gear. Clogged pickup, bad O-Ring, but only tearing into it will give a true diagnosis.

 

That’s for sure however after reading a lot of posts from this forum and others going back a few years
with this problem spent money replacing the oil pump to have the same symptoms
from readibg in most cases it’s not the pump
