How to prime Discovery3 2.7L engine oil pump
If a new engine oil pump is fitted to a 2.7 L diesel Discovery 3 does it has to be primed with oil before starting the engine? If has to be primed how and when it is done?
I just fitted a new engine oil pump and the oil light will not extinguish.
Can someone who knows advised me please.
Thanks.

The pump has to be primed before fitting by filling the hole on the back of the pump.

Did you also change the oil filter? Are you sure the the filter is seated correctly in the filter housing?

Check the long bolts going upwards from the bottom of the engine into the pump are tight.
