88 Range Rover

I bought a used Range rover today and on my way home it started crapping out on me. The Oil Light came on so I pulled over and checked out the oil, it was full and fairly clean, so I started driving and then the vehicle started losing power. So I pulled off of the road and swung by a jiffy lube. The guy checked out the oil, said it looked fine so it must be an exhaust problem. So I went to another service shop and they said that it wasn't exhaust, but that the oil was not making it's way into the engine. He thought It might need a new oil pump and to flush the system. However, I can't find a parts house that can get an oil pump so I don't know where to begin. I just bought the car 5 hours ago.... I don't know what to do.... HELP!!!!

An SAE and Metric socket and wrench set, and a can of WD-40 are going to become your best friends.
Not sure where you are located, but try to find yourself a good local Land Rover mechanic if you are not that handy.
Loss of power could be a bunch of things, from the oil pump to the fuel filter, to the fuel pump - heck it could even be water in your gas if you've got a leak in the top of the tank letting water in... There's too many things to list if you've got no more specific symptoms.
Get it to a mechanic and have them do a full once-over on it. Pay particular attention to frame, suspension (you didn't get the RR with EAS, did you?) and engine.
Best of luck!

I'm actually dreading whats going to happen long-term with my 2006 LR3 and it's EAS...
This is going to be hard for you, but take a deep breath. Remember it's a use car and they all come to us sick. I just bought my today and I knew upon purchasing it I will be putting some money into it to get the way I want it. You no doubt will have to go deep into your pocket, but check it pallie, it's a range rover! You are one the few, the proud to own the greatest off-road vehicle to ever hit the mountains. So think of it as a great investment. I know that's how I'm looking at mine. It will go to the grave with me.
Yeh, range rovers ROCKS
Peace always, and forgive my loud mouth?
