#1 by Irish paddy , Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:05 am

hi guys. so after a major transplant on my l200 from a very kind donor shogun. my oil light is coming on and off and dimming. have been thinking it was oil pressure switch but thought id just ask some experts on here. as fore the 4wd light its flashing when in 2wd but on solid when in 4wd and everything is working ok. any help and info would be appreciated. thank you.

probably the oil pressure switch aye, have you checked the oil pressure with a gauge? probably a vac leak making the green light flash

no havent checked it. should i.? will try the other switch outa my engine and see if that solves the problem. ok will have a check of the pipes and see if i can see anything. would a pipe in the wrong place or even a pipe off cause this or would that leave it that it wouldnt work at all.? thanks for the reploy chef

how old was the doner engine? u wont no if the oil pump is working properly without checking with a gauge.

could be a split pipe a wrong pipe or a hole in a pipe the metal ones on chassis from solenoids and acumelator is a good place to start looking
