Best place to buy Oil Pressure Sensor?
Discussion
I had one changed last week, taking it (the car) back for a replacement 'cos the new sender is leaking. Dealer has told me that they've had a bad batch of these recently so watch out.
They cost 45 quid from a TVR dealer - dunno about LR, or if it's the same part (do LR's have oil pressure gauges?)

Fitted one to my 92 griff a week or so ago,very easy DIY job. It cost about £45 inc vat from TVR Centre in Barnet, North London. It is not a standard LR part and I beleive TVR have used different types of sender over the years so you need to get the right one for your car, best go to a TVR dealer/specialist for it.
What does your current sender look like? is it 'bell shaped' and covered in a rubber boot? Watch when fitting as there may be a thread adaptor between the sender and the oil filter housing, use some PTFE plumbers tape on the thread.
I believe the senders are made by a company called VDO (german???) I tried on the web to locate the part but had no luck.
Chris.
BTW mine just failed through old age (80K!) it was not leaking.
