Oil pressure gauge

Bump - any guidance

Work out which advice IS relevant for pre-serp engines & ignore the advice about serpentine engines, unless you want to convert the whole front end (& have the crank keyway lengthened) . They are quite different

It's a 93 and pre serp

Anyone able to confirm the threads? I guess it's a standard part from a Land Rover?

Give Racing Green a call, they'll have one. Ask them to send it by Royal Mail First Class as opposed to courier as this will reduce the cost of the postage.

Thanks Chuffmeister
RG had something similar, at least I think it is but a lot longer so might not be.....
Suggested David Gerald who said they have them and are posting it out I hope.
I hope it fits too as car is up on ramps blocking two other cars in!

Quick thank you to David Gerald, new adapter arrived and fitted yesterday. Back and running again.
BUT! Before with the old sender the oil pressure was around the 40mark, doing the usual dropping on tickover rising on higher revs. Only reason I changed was every now and again it flew up to the max, usually at lower revs, which I took to be a faulty sender.
With the new sender it sits at nearer 55 and drops slightly on revs....
Might put the old one back....

Put the old one back,,,,,now have a leak from the union...

I'm looking at an elecronic pressure sender that will be significantly more accurate, reliable & oil tight, the challenge is however to pair it correctly to the gauge but I have a clever box of electronics that will solve this.

Watch this space

Try and seal with ptfe tape
