The last post ended on a bit of a cliffhanger i believe! Was the car losing oil pressure? Was it burning oil?
The answer was.... no. The sender for the oil pressure had been disconnected. On AW11s its a very primitive clip that attaches to a small post. Easy knocked off. Once attached it was clear the car was bang on for oil pressure readings.
The burning of oil continued though, but this did seem to be diminishing as the car was warmed/used. The jury is still out but i'm hoping its mostly due to lack of use!
So i had a wee morning in the garage with little to do! Droplinks still had not arrived for the front, so i had to find some jobs to occupy my time. The handbrake was resembling a gearstick since i changed the brakes so i gave the adjuster some attention. Not easy to access (couldnt even get a pic of it) but a hassle free job. Below is the brake off:
...and after the adjustment, here it is fully locked (one ratchet click!)
I did promise a snap of the engine all assembled and dressed up. Here we go:
...and while we are at it, heres the car out in the light, all assembled:
Lovely! So as of last night, heres how it was left:
Front struts disassembled to remove the droplinks. I wasnt going to bother removing them with anything other than an angle grinder.
Todays task: ROAD TAX BABY!
