Had to get recovered tonight!
« on: 09 January 2012, 22:46 »
Oil pressure light came on tonight, turned ignition off and back on again, came back on straight away.

Thought my leaky rocker cover gasket was the culprit, so went and bought 5 litres to fill up and get me home, ready to fit new gasket at the weekend.

As i was filling up from up top, my feet were getting wet, was going in as fast as it was coming out the hole in sump lol!

£20 quids worth of new oil, all down the side of the road, nice one.

Consequently on the lookout for an AGU compatible sump  :grin:

You aren't having much luck lately are you... Now do you think that drop outside parents place was from the sump lol

you tried Dan yet? I think you can use an AUM sump as long as you leave the level sender in the bottom
