Soooo…….. check again this morning and the oil pump is still locked up SOLID , won’t move either way even using considerable force with a big screwdriver so- out it comes
Had a few hands helping as today was our spanner day




Got it out , drained the oil and the bloody pump freed itself up so we tested it again and it was pumping fine - figured seeing as it’s out may as well get it checked so off came the sump and out came the pump

Also noticed something else that could have ended badly - have a look at how much crap was in the fuel pump !!!!

Curious to see what you find in that oil pump

Suspect the material in the fuel pump is the residue from this:

Now that stuff could be a bit of fun !!!

That explains where all the smoke was coming from. Just explain the 8 litres per 100km oil use now. Maybe it is all compressed inside that oil pump.
