Trev, get yourself to Cornwall for a good time with your mates while the rest of us get soaked at a miserable NW. Blacky wants the numbers so he gets more champ points for B19.

Cornwall for a win win situation

Gerry, what have I done to upset you???

Can't win the B19 anyway seeing as I missed out Bentwaters...

Had a great day at NW yesterday. The Dax was bloody fantastic and such a pleasure to drive. Unfortunately, despite a baffled sump it may have suffered oil surge. No engine knocking that I can hear but the oil pressure has dropped from 40ish to high teens. There's also a very nasty metallic clonk from the rear suspension.

And the RX-8 is out of the equation as the clutch is slipping

If you are booked in mr H, i would offer you a double drive in `ol yella, But if you were to beat me i`d be so upset!:cuss:
Would you see the funny side if i said "you should get yourself something more reliable, like a scooby!":D - seriously though if you do get stuck, and want to run and promise to go easy on the old gal, you are welcome to doulbe drive?

What's your email addy Ady?

Russ, thanks for your kind offer but I wouldn't dare with my track record. I'm thinking of going into business as destruction tester to the motor industry

Logan, don't be so touchy

Iam in, Brakes bled, sunroof covered, just fuel lines and exhaust to sort.

All I can find as a source of the 'clonk' is the adjustable perch nuts are loose and allowing the springs to wave in the wind.

Oil pressure is a bit more of a concern. First things to check are the sender unit and digi dash for accuracy.

Gerry i was more worried about you whooping my arse in my own car! Still i hope you get at least one of cars sorted before the weekend, even if it is only a new turbo on the C5!:driving:

I don't think it's worth bothering with the C5 Russ. Shame as it's a great car, when it's running OK but the expense and aggro of replacing the turbo is too much to contemplate
