Oil pressure warning

[lizzard-t]

I must say baz you have done extremely well to get to 182,000 miles without this failure
But you got to ask yourself the big question, how much you want to pay to get it fixed ? There are engine refurbishment companies that can supply engines from £1000 upwards .with warranty and your unit on exchange.
If you were thinking of getting a second had engine out of a damaged car then you will not know if the same will happen and with them there's possibly no warranty.
If as suggested go for a A19DTH then there's problems with different ECU / wiring
And of course there's the labour content with all thease options .
But I know you have proberly look at thease and you feel right peeved off .
It's ok us giving you ideas , but at the end it's whatever you feel you can afford .

Thanks for that mate yeah I did come across a site a while bk that offers an engine swap sort of thing, can't remember what it is now, kind of like ask a builder but for cars , I really don't know what to do, even my mechanic doesn't know what to suggest for the best

Ok so mechanic just got in touch , he said the clutch and flywheel are knackered,the flywheel is shot to bits, which explains the juddering and loss of speed ? But this can't be connected to the oil pressure ,? Can it ?

[lizzard-t]

No it can't .has he said that the engine is knackered ? .
If the engine is ok then whilst he's doing the fly wheel clutch then might as well do the oil seal .
That's as long as the engine is ok .

He will check it all tomorr mate and if it's ok he will change the clutch and flywheel

Just a quick update, mechanic has txt to say there's small metal bits the oil filter, that's all he's said, I've read a few posts about this and some have said it's not a major worry, but what would this be ? Could it be from before when my cambelt snapped at 85mph ? Or is it from the clutch/flywheel that's shot to bits ?

Defo wont be from clutch, or flywheel

Defo wont be from clutch, or flywheel

Ok mate, any ideas , rocker arms / rockers ? 6 of those were shattered

[exclusiv.]

Possibly mate,has oil not been changed since

[Baz 160 nav]

Yes mate, oil was changed then and not so long back aswell with a service

[exclusiv.]

So these metal particles could be from the latest episode ,,that's what I'm thinking anyway,,does the engine turn over if you put a spanner on bottom pulley

I'm not sure mate will ring the mechanic later when I get out of the house, if he says yes is that a good sign ?

It's better than been locked solid,but,,it doesn't mean theres no interior damage,I'm afraid
