Hi & welcome to ITOC.

The Duty comes in two versions... one has seats & windows while the other is the commercial (van) style.

Lack of pressure reading could be a few things - the most likely is a faulty pressure sensor in the oil rail. You do need to check you are using 5w30 and nothing else!

Black oil - this is normal for a diesel ... it usually happens within a few days of being changed.

no work needs doing.but the 4x4 is going ok.?do you think i should get it done. i rang a local isuzu garage in ireland he said they only charge for the service but i need irish reg plates.
any more info on the duty, id rather pay 50 euro than over 1k. iheard that if i weld up all holes and fit steel behind seats would be cheap to bring in but then heard that it goes by measurements.
