A bellends MK3 1.6 Golf. Mystic Blue 3door - Recaro's or BBS RX-II's?

Can't drive it cause insurance doesn't like the fact my dad owns a modified Golf. 

I was on it for a month, won't do it for another month. Gotta wait til April.

But the oil light kept coming on when it got warm and the idle was low. Was fine at 860 revs and above. Not below tho.

So I was hoping the strainer was blocked, it wasn't.

Now I'm hoping it's the FILTHLY oil, it's absolutely aweful. No idea why after 1300miles, the rings don't leak at all so I'm putting it down to the fact the headgasket was gone when I got the car and the fact it's been sitting.

The oil had only done 1300 miles though. Worse then diesel oil after a year. Will flush it a couple of times, then providing it's being used, in a month I will do another oil and filter change just to check the condition of the oil.

Why are you using 'cheap' oil (lard I assume) to flush the engine? This may sound amazing but you can buy engine flush from any good motor factor retailer?

Keep up the good (but at times dangerous) work. I am sure you will eventually enjoy this and bring it to a few shows.

It's proper engine oil. I say cheap but its GM Oil that goes in all the SEATS and that serviced at. W J Kings. Don't like engine flush.

Missed the second comment. Cheers hope to make some this year.

Yesterday I cleaned the sump and started painting it. Today i did a vad thing and went clothes shopping.    =£££ 

On way home but iI'm gonna grab some thinners then spray the sump and starter motor white. Then out comes the pink.

Not the best way to end that sentence!

The PROPER way to flush an engine is like bellend is doing it. You drain the oil, put some new, but cheap stuff in then run it for a week or so, flush that and refill with good oil. It makes sure the good oil is not mixed with some of the old oil in the system, that's what the cheap oil is for

Sump painted, pretty bad paint job, painting the sump white with hammerite and the only brush you can find which has been used for red oxide primer, does not make good basing for Pink paint.

Wish I had just done it at work now. 

Trying not to look at it or I will end up stripping it off and re doing it. 

Pretty sure a Caddy brake servo will fit, gonna look at one and try and get one for sharper brakes.

Oil light no longer coming on.

Mum got me an oil filter from Halfords, bigger then the old one.  Either that or was the oil.
