Many thanks for all the info. The car is now in for repair as soon as the parts arrive from the UK. I will post the findings as soon as I get them.

I will report result in due course when parts received from the UK and fitted.

It has done about 90K miles.It is only during the last five years that the clutch has had to be replaced not once but twice after having its annual oil cha...

I disconnected the gauge and ran the engine to clear any air and collected about 250mltrs before reconnecting gauge. Ran engine and loosened connection so oil leaked out, tightened connection and ran engine but no pressure. So I am looking for another gauge. This is the second time I have had the pr...

Thanks for that, I will give it a go next Friday when we get back from taking the bumpers etc over to Sicily to be rechromed.Hope it works, not my favourite lying under the dash!

Following an oil change the gauge stopped working. I fitted a replacement which did not work until I disconnected the tube from the engine and pushed a piece of electric wire up it and then refitted the gauge etc. All OK until the car was in a garage for resetting the ignition timing which caused th...
