Re: Has anyone been to the Le Mans Classic?

Definatly F.O.S went to the main Le Mans a few years ago,a bit disappionted ,my one lasting memory is of a little man at the end of the track underpass stood on his little dias waving his arms and blowing whistle and all the traffic totaly ignoring him.

Re: Alternator?

Its true I spent all my life in motor trade as a mechanic, never got involved with electrics left to those who know.
You cant see electricity so you cant see where it is!!! Give me an engine/g/box rear axle and I will repair it but nothing electrical.

If the servo is working when you started engine with foot on brakes it should have gone down a fraction.

Re: Drilled hole in engine cap

Hole or no hole in the Cap will make no difference to the oil pressure,you either have a release valve problem or the oil pump is getting tired
