Hi, just tried to fire up the aaz I've just installed and it's turning over ok with the fuel solenoid disconnected but I don't seem to be getting any oil through the feed line, which is new, any suggestions please.

Ok couple of quick questions
I take it you have put oil in it? and i also take it you have fitted the T25 oil pump and pick up?
now if both are present, then id take the feed pipe off the oil filter housing and see if you have oil there, if not then check the oil filter housing for blockage

Did you fill the oil filter before fitting it?

I had snapped the brake vacuum spigot and me not being aware that it was linked to the oil pump had made the request for info before realising this, that's what you get for trying to do it all yourself with no real experience I suppose ?

I know nowt about Diesel T25's, but I have got to ask = what is the connection between the brake vac and the oil pump ?

luvly oilers dont have vacuum from the minifolds as petrols so to get vac for the servo we have a vacuum pump and this is driven via the pump drive

If you run with a very low oil level you can lose the vacuum to the servo also!

Hows that as the oil pump is ran off the bottom of the vac pump, the vac pump is driven off the aux shaft which is driven off the cambelt, the only way you could lose servo is is the cambelt and or aux shaft snaps, oil level will only do that it it seizes up

When very low not enough oil to provide the seal for the pump therefore no vacuum.
I know from personal experience!
Didn't seize just lost vacuum, rapid oil top up cured it.
