Took the engine to work today and started to clean it all up. Stripped the oil pump and found it had obviously had metal through it at some time it is knackered, but all the shells and crank look good

No wonder you had oil pressure problems with that pump!

I’m surprised it managed to get the good oil pressure that it did with it like that, it was just that it took time to get the initial pressure up.

I’ve taken the dash and sound proofing out now and found the drivers side also rotten around the air vent and worse than the other side. There was me hoping it would be ok this side :roll: I should have known better :lol:
