Lumps in your oil???



Got no oil pressure??

This is what Garry found when they dropped the sump off !!! We have owned the Disco for well over a year and have had it out 4x4 driving many times but obviously never enough to dislodge this old rag buried in the sump oil. Garry had just fitted the truck with new wheel bearings and was giving it a test drive and brake test when the oil pressure light came on. The searching for the problem eventually lead to this disgusting mess which had happily shreadded and wound itself around the crankshaft and cam shaft and small and large particles were found in the oil. So beware when you buy a vehicle that the owner or mechanic hasnt left there underwear in the sump!!! NOTE: We purchased the Landy along with the rag just in case you were wondering.
