nightmare day

[sbsshadow]

Hi All

yesterday got the mk1 convertible out of the garage as it looked a lovely day went to my mates house to pic him up for work and the oil light came on .....  got some oil from the garage 2 x 1ltr bottles of 10/40 and put 1 in.

Oil light came on again so decided to stop and put the other bottle in.......  BIG MISTAKE ----- white smoke everywhere from the back of the car.......  so got towed all the way home by the AA still with my roof down and the car is currently at the doctors now im waiting for the call......

thought i would share this

Stephen (cant wait to get it back and get the roof down !!)

just think too much oil ..........

my oil light only came on when it was almost complete out of oil. I had to put in a gallon to turn it off!

Bet you don't let the oil level get that low with your new engine

Might not be so forgiving

so that means headgasket gone?  

I really hope not, I just had mine repaired at a cost of over 400 sheets!!!
