no mate ive heard of other problems with oil pressure where they have had no oil pressure and its killed the engine. but mine is running spot on still

Noticed on sunday that my defi oil pressure gauge was bouncing and not going up and down how it usually does. When i start up from cold it use to go staight to 4bar and now it stays at on 0bar for 4secs then goes up. When warm it usually sits just under 2bar but now its round 1bar. I pulled up in traffic yesterday and it dropped to 0bar and dash light came on as i saw that i was about to turn it straight off then all of a sudden the dash light went out and the needle went up on the gauge. This is starting to worry me ive spoke to my engine builder and he said to get a mechanical gauge to check the pressure. spoke to other people and they have said sticky oil pressure relise valve, pump, oil pick up and also my mate had a problem like this and it was down to a faulty oil filter. Can any one help or advise ?

thanks guys for the comments

yes mate we should but i supplied him with gen toyota seals. i got a mate to change the oil seal twice as rob doesnt have any where to do the seal or didnt know when he could do it. my guy thinks its the breather system and rob told me to try the prv thing so i will try that over the next week. but ive spent like £300 now getting this oil seal problem sorted and it should be under warrenty.

its driving me crazy because its leaving drips every where i park up

since my rebuild 2000miles ago ive had to change the front crank shaft oil seal twice as its leaves oil on the floor when i park up. any other ideas what could be causing this to keep leaking and what to check for?

nice car matey. where abouts are you in surrey?

I will be up for driving down
