Crossed fingers and waiting for a positive update,

Nick
Sorry to hear of your problems. Lets hope its nothing serious.

Strangely enough after the 928 Combe day my oil pressure is reading very low. I hope I've traced it to a dodgy gauge, lets hope yours is simple too.

Did you manage to get your money back from the other sessions?

Cheers Paul, it's a bummer but I still had fun. I sold my sessions to Nick and Cheryl off here for half price so they got to have some cheap trackday fun so something good came of it :grin:

Real shame you didn't make it out mate - I was looking forward to seeing the motor in action.

Hope the fix is cheap and simple  :cool:

Right. So after weeks of ignoring the thing and pretending it's not there I'm today going to pull the sump off and have a poke around.

Fingers crossed I find nothing too grim!

Anyone want to guess what this is then?





And the pick up after a quick clean. It was so clogged you couldn't even blow through it.
