If I had an oil pressure guage, what oil pressure would I expect to see? Answers in Bar or PSI please 

Most engines will show around 4bar when warm and at revs, this seems to be the standard to maintain that thin film of oil between all working parts, thereby reducing heat, friction and wear. Bit more on cold start, bit less on warm idling. Don't have one on the X but do on M3.

Have at last fitted the oil pressure gauge (thankyou Greydog) this afternoon and am getting 60psi at 3000rpm and dropping to 20 psi at tickover. on 4.4 M62 with 93000 miles.
Fitted  the Instalube yet ??

Still recovering from the customs charge  ) its in the box, in the boot. Will be having a look this weekend at where it all might fit but as you can guess - was thinking of a pressure guage - which one did you go for?

So still pondering, this is a long shot but does anyone know what is behind this bit of the dash before I start dismantling to have a look!?

2 Screws hold the inst pod in, remove pod and have a look ( 3 plugs in back of pod\)

Well done lez, never thought of going in that way!
