Welcome. First order of business is a warning about the stock front drive shaft which comes with sealed joints. The lack of grease fittings allows them to dry out, and the shaft splits with almost no warning, and pokes a $7000 hole in the transmission. Rebuild info ($100) in our tech area. So are other things like hiles miles service list, and best oil to run. As for modifications, look at an Ultra Gauge, which plugs into the OBDII diagnostic port, reads codes, resets codes, and displays important things like coolant temp, and allows you to set alarm points for it. About $70. Don't trust the engine temp gauge, it is designed to stay parked at 50% until engine is way too hot.

By now you should have downloaded the RAVE, which includes owner manuals and shop manuals.

Oil pressure in a Disco is just a warning light, not reported to ECU and OBDII, so you'l need to look at the various adaptes and gauges. Do a search, it has been proudly posted by many members.
