Managed to fix the car 2 days ago but i've only just managed to get on here to post.
Basically, I tried turning it over with the LT lead off and no oil pressure would register, so I decided to whip the cam cover off and check in there. Anyway I took the top cover off, and I could see oil in there, so I took the cam cover off and the oil return holes were blocked, which meant all the oil had stayed in the head instead of going back to the sump. I unblocked them, turned her over and she had oil pressure, so I started it up and it had the normal oil pressure.
Anybody know if its detrimental to run without a cam cover gasket, as I have been doing for a couple of months and its never leaked? Went to Renault to get one and they gave me a headgasket instead, so I need to go and buy the correct gasket.
See ya
