URGENT oil pressure stop engine

Nah the oil pump is mechanical mate. Only runs when the engine is.

Thought it might be. Oh well
I know I’ll find out Saturday, but its playing on my mind. If the issue was the pick up pipe, and the pipe is now clear, is it even possible that the engine wasn’t starting because the lack of oil, and that when I try to start the engine, it will suck oil up after a 5 seconds or so and start? I know @Dan_FR doesn't think so, and I can see where he's coming from, the start up isn't bothered whether theres low oil or not, it will start regardless, so the reason its not starting is most likely damage of some sort. Just wondering what type of damage would cause it to not start??
Sorry for repeating and going over things already discussed, but I will shut up about it now until Saturday.
Thanks

This sounds familiar...

I had the same issue on the motorway, pulled over and stopped engine. Recovered home and towed to garage the following monday. Garage inspected car and no fault found. Asked them to drop sump and check pickup pipe upon which they found the oil pump drive chain had slipped and shredded to sprocket, lots of nasty metal filings swimming around in the oil. New oil pump is £900 plus fitting which needed a new chain and all 3 new sprockets. In the end went for a second hand engine and broke up current engine for good bits to claw back the difference.

When I got the new oil yesterday, he only gave me a 5l bottle. I said I thought it needed more, and he said no its 4.6l for your car. Is this right?
